Not too long after rival airline Air India placed a record making order of planes from Boeing, Indigo is also in talks with both Boeing and its current supplier Airbus to order more than 500 passenger jets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Indigo<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If this goes through, it would break <\/a>the industry record set by domestic rival Air India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buying from Airbus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indigo, which is India’s largest airline, has until now exclusively purchased narrow-body jets from Airbus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said last month that the airline was close to ordering several hundred planes from the planemaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Negotiations to keep renewing Indigo\u2019s fleet have expanded to include mid-sized wide-body jets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eyeing both planemakers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has sparked a contest between Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner and the upgraded Airbus A330neo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IndiGo is comparing the A320neo with the Boeing 737 MAX as it weighs a major new order for narrow-body jets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The split between wide- and narrow-body jets was not immediately clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Permission to wet lease<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The civil aviation ministry has given <\/a> Indigo permission to wet lease up to two aircraft in order to operate flights to the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under a wet lease arrangement, planes are leased along with the operating crew and engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically wet leasing is allowed for short periods to address supply constraints and ensure that airfares do not surge significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Codeshare agreement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February, IndiGo began using the wide-body Boeing 777 on the Delhi-Istanbul route for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is expanding into Europe through its partnership with Turkish Airlines, which is irs codeshare partner since 2019\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A codeshare agreement refers to an arrangement between airlines that allows passengers to seamlessly transfer from one operator\u2019s flight to that of another by using the same flight number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a joint filing by Turkish Airlines and IndiGo with the US Department of Transportation, the airlines have asked for \u201cexpedited approval of the application\u201d as is standard practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access to US destinations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If accepted, IndiGo will <\/a>be able to sell flights to Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Newark, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After initially launching with 20 destinations, the arrangement has steadily seen expansion to more destinations within Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indigo already has codeshare agreements with other airlines such as Qantas or Air France – KLM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
