IndiGo on Sunday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with European aircraft manufacturer Airbus to order 30 additional A350-900 widebody aircraft, aiming to expand its long-haul network over the next decade. According to aviation industry sources, the order is estimated to be worth around $5 billion.

In April last year, the airline had ordered 30 A350-900 wide-body planes from Airbus. The April 2024 order was the very first time that India's largest carrier had placed an order for wide-body planes.

During the April 2024 order, it was revealed that IndiGo had the option to increase the wide-body plane order to 100 planes.
