Mumbai: GoAir and IndiGo will continue to take deliveries of Airbus A320neo aircraft according to schedule, airline sources say.
Last Friday, Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker said his airline had cancelled the order of its first Airbus A320neo aircraft over unresolved engine issues. Qatar Airways, which was the launch customer for the A320neo, was supposed to receive its first aircraft late last year. Qatar Airways is due to receive four planes of the type this year and Al Baker said he would take a call later whether to accept the planes or cancel the order. GoAir and IndiGo, however, have no such plan to cancel orders or defer deliveries.
While an IndiGo spokesperson declined to comment on the issue, sources said IndiGo would be taking aircraft deliveries in FY17 as planned. IndiGo has so far inducted four Airbus A320neo planes and has 426 planes of the type on order. In FY17, the airline will add 29 aircraft. Last Thursday, GoAir had taken delivery of its first Airbus A320neo aircraft.
