In For The Long-Haul: IndiGo Orders 30 Airbus A350-900 Jets

It’s official! After months of speculation, IndiGo has finally announced a widebody order and has gone for the Airbus A350. The low-cost airline is the largest carrier in India, with more than 60% of domestic market share. IndiGo has been eyeing long-haul international routes and first ventured into this side of the market by wet leasing widebody planes and entering codeshare agreements. And so, once these A350s begin to arrive, the carrier can begin operating long-haul services with its own metal.

It does but IndiGo will take it to the next level with more A350s. Frenchbee doesn’t have many A350s… less than 10 I think… but nonetheless demonstrated that the long-haul low cost model is possible.

@@odzergaming That's incorrect. The seat width on the 787 is 17.3 inches. On the 10 abreast A350 it's 16.4 inches. That aircraft is definitely NOT XWB when compared to the 777, which has 19" seats.
