New Delhi: IndiGo, India's largest carrier in terms of number of passengers flown, is adding capacity to counter the competition for new comers like AirAsia India and Vistara and retain its number one position in the domestic market.
The airline, which has added 15 aircraft since December 2012, is leasing 12 Airbus 320s from Tiger Air as the delivery of its 180 aircraft order begins in 2015-16.
"Tiger Airways Holdings group ("Tigerair" or the "Group") has reached an agreement with InterGlobe Aviation Limited ("IndiGo") relating to the subleasing of 12 of Tigerair's surplus aircraft by the Indian budget carrier. Most of these aircraft were previously operated by Tigerair Philippines and Tigerair Mandala, and had been returned to the Group upon its divestment of Tigerair Philippines in March 2014 and Tigerair Mandala's cessation of operations in July 2014," said a release from Tiger Air.
