Wherever did IndiGo go
Permalink Closed

Anyone knows what happened to IndiGo with its 100 A320s. Here's an old article


Source:Airbus


InterGlobe Enterprises Limited today announced its plans to launch IndiGo, its nation-wide low-cost airline venture. IndiGo has committed for 100 firm A320 family aircraft with Airbus – world renowned for the customer friendly features and comfort of its airliners.


The venture is being jointly promoted by InterGlobe Enterprises Limited and Rakesh Gangwal, globally recognized for his management skills and expertise in the airline industry. 


 


“IndiGo is the result of extensive analysis and planning by very experienced airline executives and we are convinced it will be a successful new player in a market that is both large and fast growing,” says Airbus President and CEO Noël Forgeard. “Airbus A320 Family aircraft have been chosen by many of the world’s new and successful low-cost carriers, and we like to think that our products are making a valuable contribution to their prosperity.”


 


“The aviation industry in India is on the threshold of the next big revolution and IndiGo is ideally positioned to fill the fast emerging need for reliable, efficient and economical air travel,” says InterGlobe Enterprises Limited Managing Director Rahul Bhatia. “IndiGo will also make a humble yet significant contribution to India’s growth by creating employment opportunities directly and through ancillary services.” Established in 1989, InterGlobe Enterprises is the foremost travel conglomerate in India and enjoys a significant presence in the fields of aviation management, travel related services, travel technology, travel distribution services and hotel development & management services.


 


“We are pleased with our selection of A320 family aircraft for the launch of IndiGo,” says Rakesh Gangwal “IndiGo will serve the nation’s air travellers with superior customer service and provide great value for money, using Airbus A320 Family aircraft that we have chosen because of their passenger comfort, economy and modern design.” Rakesh Gangwal has been associated with the travel industry since 1980. In his aviation career spanning over two decades, he has worked with United Airlines, Air France and US Airways in senior management positions. 


 


Airbus recognises the importance of the Indian market which, together with China, is one of today’s fastest-growing travel markets.


 


Airbus’ A320 family is the recognised technological leader in single-aisle aircraft, with advanced features such as fuel-saving wingtip fences, weight-saving composites, and the reliability that comes from its modern design and ease of maintenance. It also consistently leads in independent passenger and operator surveys.

I had read somewhere that IndiGo was planning to launch its services from the second half of 2006.

Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IndiGo_Airlines


There are a few other sites, but no clear insights.

But an Airbus favourite.


Airbus has selected them to set up an exclusive MRO-type unit. IndiGo staff will have access to the latest technology including virtual workshops.


let me locate the item:


Toulouse-based Airbus Industrie on Monday announced its first active learning and competence focussed training (AACT) in India in partnership with city-based IndiGo Airlines
Airbus Media Release
May 9, 2006













 

Toulouse-based Airbus Industrie on Monday announced its first active learning and competence focussed training (AACT) in India in partnership with city-based IndiGo Airlines.

"The programme will enable Indigo to achieve the highest international standards in the maintenance training and will play a key role in training for the future," Airbus Executive Vice-President Kiran Rao said in a statement.

The eight-week long programme will train maintenance engineers the latest methodologies and tools in new aircraft maintenance practices in a computerised simulated environment, it added.

"Apart from using the conventional aids, for the first time in India the training will involve new generation training tools, which will provide a realistic simulated environment for training purposes," IndiGo CEO and President Bruce Ashby said.
