Summary:
IndiGo played a key role in Airbus’s record-breaking 2024, with 58 aircraft deliveries, making up 7.6% of Airbus’s total. This was the highest for IndiGo, surpassing previous years. The airline had placed a 500-plane order with Airbus in 2023. Air India, including Vistara, received 14 planes. Airbus delivered 766 aircraft, missing its target due to supply chain issues. IndiGo had 930 undelivered planes by December 2024.
IndiGo expanded its fleet after 80-90 A320neo aircraft were grounded due to engine issues in 2024. The airline used wet-leasing and new deliveries to manage this. Despite supply chain challenges, IndiGo continued to grow alongside Air India’s expansion and merger plans. It’s transitioning to CFM-powered engines, moving away from Pratt & Whitney. The airline will introduce its first A321XLR in 2025, with significant growth expected, especially with new airports opening.
