IndiGo will use its 60 Airbus A350-900 order to expand long-haul Europe operations from 2028, pairing a limited business and premium economy offering with 300-plus economy seats, hot meals and in-flight entertainment.
IndiGo plans lean-cost long-haul Europe operations with limited business and premium economy cabins, more than 300 economy seats, hot meals and entertainment. Its 60 A350-900 order, arriving from 2028, will support multi-hub expansion and competition with Air India.
Why this matters
The plan advances IndiGo's recent A350 long-haul push with lie-flat business and 333-seat economy, alongside its goal of reaching 40% international capacity by FY30 and global-expansion leadership changes.
