IndiGo airlines get their first Airbus A320 delivered

IndiGo is one of the newer entrants in the budget airline market in India and they have just received the delivery of their first brand new Airbus A320 aircraft.

The company took the delivery of this craft at the Airbus factory at Toulouse (France).

IndiGo had placed orders for 100 brand new 180-seater A320 family aircrafts and they now plan to introduce a new A320-232 aircraft every month during the remainder of 2006. Next year would see them introduce nine more planes.

With this, the company would have a fleet of around 15 aircrafts by the end of next year. They would be using this new plane to offer a daily non-stop service between Delhi and Guwahati.

IndiGo president and CEO Bruce Ashby said in a statement: “IndiGo is built for people with things to do, places to be and people to see, who don’t want to waste time, money or energy in the process. The team at IndiGo has designed an airline with affordable fares that has cut red tape and hassles, opening up a country full of opportunities.”
