Greater Noida: IndiGo, which has a uniform fleet of Airbus A-320s, on Saturday said it has not yet firmed up plans to buy small planes that would help widen its domestic and regional operations.
“There is certainly a market for smaller aircraft in India. We are looking at it, but at what time we will induct these aircraft, I cannot say,” Rahul Bhatia, Group Managing Director of InterGlobe Enterprise, the parent company of the airline, said.
The Civil Aviation Ministry has called for the acquisition of smaller planes by Indian airlines to serve destinations in Tier-II and Tier-III cities.
Talking to reporters at the launch of an ultra-modern pilot simulator training facility here, Mr. Bhatia said the airline is yet to decide on either the number of such aircraft which need to be purchased or the manufacturer from whom the same are to be acquired.
