Fleet history

• In June 2005, IndiGo placed an order for 100 Airbus A320-200 aircraft worth US$6 billion during the Paris Air Show with plans to commence operations in mid 2006.^[14][15][16]

• In July 2006, the airline received its first A320. The airline planned to induct 100 aircraft by 2015–2016.^[17]

• In January 2011, IndiGo signed a memorandum of understanding for an additional 180 Airbus A320 family aircraft, including 150 with the New Engine Option (NEO), worth US$15 billion.

• In 2012, the airline took delivery of its 50th aircraft,^[18] and the 100th aircraft was delivered on 4 November 2014, completing its initial order ahead of schedule.^[19]

• The Airbus A320neo family aircraft ordered in 2011 were to be delivered starting 2015.^[20] However, due to a delay in the production and delivery of these aircraft, IndiGo dry-leased a total of 22 used aircraft to cope with the demand.^[21]

• On 15 October 2014, IndiGo expressed its intention to order a further 250 A320neo aircraft worth US$25.7 billion at list prices.^[22]

• On 15 August 2015, IndiGo confirmed the order for 250 A320neo aircraft for $26.5 billion. The order also provided IndiGo an option to convert some A320neos to A321LRs that can seat more passengers and fly on longer routes.^[23] The order for 250 jets was Airbus' single largest order by number of aircraft.^[24]

• In March 2016, IndiGo received its first A320neo.^[25][26]

• On 10 October 2019, Airbus delivered its 1000th A320neo aircraft to IndiGo.^[27]

• In May 2017, IndiGo tentatively signed for 50 ATR 72-600 for the UDAN regional connectivity scheme, to be delivered from the year end for up to 20 by the end of 2018.^[28]

• On 17 November 2017, IndiGo took delivery of its first ATR 72-600.^[29]

• On 29 October 2019, IndiGo placed a firm order for 300 A320neo family aircraft comprising a mix of 87 A320neo, 144 A321neo and 69 A321XLR, taking IndiGo's total number of A320neo family aircraft orders to 730.^[30]

• In May 2023, IndiGo inducted its first wide-body aircraft, a Boeing 777-300ER wet leased from Turkish Airlines.^[31]

• In June 2023, the airline placed an order for 500 Airbus A320neo family aircraft worth $55 billion excluding potential bulk-order concessions.^[32] It is the largest single aircraft order in commercial aviation history with deliveries between 2030 and 2035.^[33]

• On 25 April 2024, IndiGo signed a deal with Airbus for 30 A350-900s with 70 options at a cost of US$5 billion, thereby taking the total number to a hundred wide-body aircraft. This order marked the airline's entry to consist of and operate wide-body aircraft for the first time in its history in a full-fledged way, as part of its long-term future plans. The deliveries of these aircraft will begin from 2027.^[34][35]

• Since May 2024, IndiGo is also planning to place an order of at least a hundred smaller, regional aircraft such as the ATR 72, the Airbus A220 or the Embraer E175, to further give impetus on regional expansion and connectivity.^[36]
• On 14 November 2024, the airline's first A321neo with IndiGo's brand new business class product, namely IndiGo Stretch, entered service.^[37]
• On March 2025, IndiGo started operating a damp-leased Boeing 787 from Norse Atlantic Airways to augment its long-haul fleet.^[38]

Engine type

Since 2020, all aircraft that are being delivered to IndiGo are fitted with CFM LEAP-1A engines leaving GTF.^[39]

Livery

Indigo and sky blue livery

The airline uses a two tone blue livery on a white background with the belly of the aircraft painted in indigo with the logo in white.^[40]

Grounded fleet

By September 2023, it was revealed by Pratt & Whitney that its PW1000G geared turbofan engines needs to be removed or replaced from the A320neo aircraft across the globe for inspection due to discovery of use of contaminated powdered metal being used in production of some engine parts leading to cracks in the engines. Such problems with the engines were first announced in July 2023.^[41][42]

In November 2023, several reports revealed that 45-50 aircraft were already grounded due to the engine issue and the numbers would reach 70-80 by January-March 2024. However, this did not affect the operations of the airline as they retained 14 older aircraft, extended leases on 36 aircraft, and will lease 11 aircraft in November and 12 aircraft in January. Of the 23 A320s being leased, 11 will be on short term wet-lease, while the rest will be on dry-lease.^[43][44] Later, the airline also leased 6 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft from Qatar Airways for operations on the India-Doha route.^[45][46]

By February 2024, the number of grounded aircraft reached the mid 70s as per schedule. The reasons for grounding aircraft included both supply chain issues and PW1000G engine inspection. Grounding of more than 40 aircraft was due to PW's engine problem, while an additional 60 aircraft utilised the same engine and were to be grounded afterwards.^[47]

As of September 2024, the number of aircraft on ground for Pratt and Whitney engine issues is stable at 70 aircraft. In fact, the number is expected to drop in the near future.^[48]
