IndiGo defers next major aircraft order to 2030 as 900-aircraft pipeline supports growth

IndiGo says its current orderbook, including 60 Airbus A350-900s with options for 40 more, supports expansion through 2035. The carrier will assess next-generation, lower-emission aircraft before making its next major order around 2030.

IndiGo plans to defer its next major aircraft order until around 2030 to assess next-generation, lower-emission planes. The airline is set through 2035 with over 900 aircraft on order, including 60 A350s, as it expands long-haul international operations.

Why this matters

The decision extends IndiGo's recent operational-planning focus, following its review request on pilot duty rules after disruption and its two-year Incredible India promotion pact.
