Reuters exclusively reported that IndiGo pits Boeing against Airbus in record jet order talks

Reuters exclusively reported that Indian budget carrier IndiGo is in talks with both Boeing (BA.N) and its current supplier Airbus (AIR.PA) to order more than 500 passenger jets, potentially smashing an industry record set by domestic rival Air India a few weeks ago. India’s largest airline has, until now, been an exclusive buyer of narrow-body jets from Airbus. As Indian carriers try to keep pace with the world’s fastest-growing aviation market, serving what is soon to become the largest population, industry records continue to be set while manufacturers struggle to meet output goals.
