Fleet
With minimum operational overhead, the Airbus A320 family is an ideal choice for a low cost carrier like IndiGo. The fleet of IndiGo airlines currently comprises 62 Airbus A320-200 aircraft, each of which has the capacity to carry 180 passengers in its Economy class. These flights are usually phased out after every six years to keep the average fleet low. Hence, IndiGo had placed an order for additional 100 Airbus A320-200 aircraft that will be inducted by 2015-16. The airline is also set to include 150 aircrafts of the new Airbus 320neo family that were ordered in 2011 and are due for delivery between 2016 and 2025.
