NEW DELHI: InterGlobe Aviation Ltd, the operator of largest domestic airline IndiGo, will continue to aggressively take deliveries of cost-effective Airbus A320neo planes over the next two years.
The airline plans to retire as many as 120 older Airbus A320ceo planes from its fleet during this period to reduce costs, chief executive Ronojoy Dutta said on Tuesday. "We will replace almost all or close to all 120 Airbus A320ceo planes (with Airbus A320neo planes) depending on the revenue condition of the company," Dutta said.
The decision of the airline to continue to aggressively add capacity comes at a time when global travel has been impacted adversely due to covid-19 related bans and lockdowns.
