New Delhi: IndiGo is in talks with Airbus SE for another large plane order in a sign Asia’s biggest budget carrier has no intention of letting up on a blistering pace of expansion. “When we order, we’ll order in bulk for sure," Dutta said in New Delhi in his first interview since becoming CEO of the airline in January. Given that the most-basic variant of the A320neo family today carry sticker prices of more than $100 million each, a large order could exceed $10 billion. While IndiGo has so far confined past orders to Airbus, it hasn’t ruled out buying Boeing Co jets in the future, according to Dutta. “We are negotiating right now for an engine order," Dutta said.
