The commitment by Indian low-cost carrier IndiGo for 180 A320s — including 150 of the new A320neos — would have a value at list prices of $15.6 billion (euro12 billion) if converted into a firm order, Airbus said.
Airbus says it would be the biggest order in terms of number of jets in aviation history.
The deal won applause from industry analysts.
