MUMBAI: No-frills airline IndiGo has said it has inducted a second wide-body Boeing 777 aircraft in its fleet, which it will operate on the Mumbai-Istanbul route.
After operating a narrow-body Airbus fleet, in single-class configuration for over 16 years, the Gurugram-based IndiGo commenced twin-aisle aircraft operations earlier this year with one B777 on the Delhi-Istanbul route, wet leased from Turkish Airlines.
IndiGo has a codeshare pact with Turkish Airlines among several other carriers.
The addition of the second wide-body aircraft will provide more convenient travel options for people looking to travel between India and Europe this summer, Pieter Elbers, Chief Executive Officer at IndiGo, said.
