IndiGo defers next mega aircraft order to 2030 as A350-led expansion takes shape
IndiGo will assess next-generation, lower-emission aircraft before deciding on its next major order around 2030. Its current pipeline—over 900 aircraft on order, including 60 Airbus A350-900s due from 2028—supports growth through 2035.
IndiGo plans to defer its next major aircraft order until around 2030 while evaluating lower-emission next-generation planes. The airline is expanding long-haul capacity with 60 A350s, shifting toward finance leases, and says its existing aircraft pipeline supports growth through 2035.
Why this matters
The move extends IndiGo's recent signal that its 900-aircraft pipeline lets it defer a mega-order decision, following its separate request to review pilot duty rules after operational disruption.
