IndiGo Doubles A350 Commitment to 60 With Firm Order for 30 More

The deal adds Rolls-Royce Trent XWB support under TotalCare, with 40 purchase rights retained for future flexibility.

Overview

  • The contract converts a June memorandum into a firm purchase of 30 A350-900s, taking IndiGo’s total A350 firm orders to 60.
  • All A350-900s will use Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-84 engines under a long-term TotalCare maintenance and health-monitoring agreement.
  • IndiGo exercised 30 of its 70 A350 purchase rights and still holds rights for 40 additional widebody aircraft.
  • Deliveries are slated to begin later this decade, with local reports indicating a first A350 in 2027, though no detailed schedule was disclosed.
  • The move supports IndiGo’s push into long-haul markets, complementing leased 787 operations and a fleet of 400-plus aircraft with an orderbook near 900.
