Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Biggest plane deal in history: Airbus clinches massive order from India’s IndiGo
As India’s population and economy grow, more people are expected to fly over the country and across the border. In February, the prime minister said India is going to be the world’s third-largest aviation market and will need more than 2,000 new aircraft over the next 15 years. So,
Air India, India’s largest international and second-largest domestic carrier, placed orders for 470 aircraft to Boeing and Airbus, 220 and 250 aircraft respectively. Then this month, IndiGo, an Indian low-cost carrier and the largest airline in India placed an order for 500 A320 narrow-body aircraft to Airbus to be delivered between 2030 and 2035, the largest single order in commercial aviation history. Combined, nearly 1,000 new aircraft were ordered by India this year alone. In fact, the country’s railways are old and overcrowded, highspeed railways are still under construction, and national highways cover only 170,000 kilometers or so. So, air travel is going to be the choice for many Indians in the coming years. While some European countries are trying to restrict short domestic air travels for the sake of the environment, India is going to expand its aviation industry very aggressively.
Read the article and learn about what India’s aviation is going to be like.
