IndiGo gets government approval to add 400 more planes by 2025

NEW DELHI: IndiGo, India's largest carrier in terms of passengers flown, has received approvals from the government to induct another 400 planes in its fleet till 2025, taking the total addition to 550, a development that analysts believe is a prelude to the airline getting into cross-border ventures.

The airline has begun the process of inducting the aircraft, which add up to more than the total number of 400 aircraft that scheduled airlines in India operate today. IndiGo has already inducted 12 of those new planes in its fleet.

The plan to add 550 aircraft in a span of a decade, if implemented, will be the biggest-ever fleet induction in the history of Indian aviation.

IndiGo has always surprised the market with its huge order book. It entered aviation business in 2006 with an order for 100 Airbus A320s.
