New Delhi: With an eye on expanding its international presence, IndiGo, country's largest domestic airline, will add eight Airbus A321neo aircraft on lease from Ireland-based CDB Aviation by January next year. The airline on Thursday took delivery of one A321neo from the leasing company, thus taking its A321neo fleet to seven aircraft. IndiGo's A321neo aircraft is a narrow body airplane, equipped with the Pratt & Whitney PW1133G turbofan engines, and is configured with a 222-seat layout. Since the airline has no firm orders for wide body planes, it is expected to deploy A321 planes on medium-haul international destinations. IndiGo has been aggressively expanding its international operations during the past year or so.
