IndiGo, India's largest airline by passengers carried, on Wednesday said that it has extended its long-term avionics maintenance agreement with Thales Group of France for its growing fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft.
The contract will cover avionics maintenance for a fleet of up to 250 aircraft, including the new fuel efficient variant A320neo, which will be delivered to IndiGo in late 2015.
The airline owned by InterGlobe Aviation Ltd did not disclose the value of the renewed agreement.
"Thales has been a partner to IndiGo since the airline took delivery of its first Airbus A320-200 aircraft in 2006. Through this agreement Thales provides spares availability and replenishment to IndiGo with stocks located onsite at their main hub in New Delhi, the airline's main base," the aviation company said on Wednesday.
Thales also offers IndiGo direct access to a pool of spare parts located in Thales' Asia-Pacific repair hub in Singapore.
"Through this agreement, Thales is able to provide a flexible solution to IndiGo that helps them optimize the maintenance of their fleet while keeping inventory under control," said Daniel Malka, Thales vice president (avionics services worldwide).
