Indian airline IndiGo signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the purchase of 180 Airbus A320 aircraft, the order consists of 30 "regular" A320 aircraft and 150 A320neo aircraft making IndiGo the first A320neo customer.
IndiGo has an existing order of 61 aircraft and operates 39 A320's at the moment.
An engine manufacturer for the A320neo has to be selected at this moment, the airline can choose between the Leap-X by CFM and the PurePower pw1100g by Pratt & Whitney. Looking at the size of the order both manufacturers will probably be offering huge discounts on the engines to secure the order.
