Airbus Nearing Record $50 Billion Jet Deal With India's IndiGo
- Airbus is close to selling 500 A320 narrow-body planes to IndiGo, making it the largest order ever by volume.
- Airbus and Boeing are also in talks to sell 25 wide-body jets to IndiGo.
- IndiGo aims to double its capacity by the end of the decade and expand its network, especially in international markets.
- IndiGo has a codeshare partnership with seven carriers, including Turkish Airlines, American Airlines, and KLM.
- IndiGo is already an exclusive buyer of narrow-body jets from Airbus and may stick with them to gain more economies of scale.
