Airbus confirme une commande d'Indigo de 30 A350-900

Indigo étend son réseau international. Dans un communiqué paru ce lundi, Airbus a confirmé une commande ferme de la compagnie aérienne indienne pour 30 A350-900.

Les livraisons doivent débuter en 2027. Pour Indigo, déjà la première compagnie indienne avec 100 millions de passagers en 2023 – surtout sur des lignes intérieures -, ces aéronefs à long rayon d’action, jusqu’à 15.000 km, vont lui permettre de se renforcer sur les destinations long-courriers.

“Aujourd’hui est un moment historique qui marque un nouveau chapitre pour Indigo (…)”, a déclaré le PDG de la compagnie, Pieter Elbers. Avec cette flotte de 30 avions gros porteurs, il espère qu’Indigo deviendra “l’un des principaux acteurs mondiaux de l’aviation”.

Un partenariat confirmé

De son côté, Airbus a tenu a remercié Indigo de lui “renouveler sa confiance” alors que les deux groupes avaient annoncé il y a près d’un an un contrat portant sur 500 A320neo, soit le plus gros de l’histoire de l’aviation civile. “Nous sommes fiers que notre famille A320 de nouvelle génération, économe en carburant, ait révolutionné le transport aérien intérieur en Inde et que l’A350 soit désormais sur le point de reproduire le même succès sur les routes long-courriers”, a réagi Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, vice-président des ventes de la division avions commerciaux d’Airbus.

L’A350, le dernier-né d’Airbus, fêtera en décembre le 10e anniversaire de sa mise en service. Il existe en deux versions, le 900 et le 1000, plus grand. Le 900 peut transporter entre 300 et 350 passagers, 440 dans la configuration la plus dense. À fin mars, l’avionneur avait déjà enregistré 71 commandes pour l’A350 depuis le début de l’année. L’appareil s’affiche comme un “best-seller” pour Airbus qui en a vendu plus de 1.200 depuis le lancement du programme.
