Low-cost airline IndiGo on Saturday said the delivery of the first aircraft of the new Airbus A320 Neos it ordered has been delayed owing to "industrial reasons".
IndiGo's parent company InterGlobe Aviation said, in a regulatory filing, that it received an official notification from Airbus that the first of the fuel efficient A320 New Engine Options (Neos) scheduled to be delivered on December 30 has been delayed due to an "industrial reason".
"At this time IndiGo does not have clear visibility of its future A320 Neo delivery schedule and the potential for additional delays exist. We are looking at mitigating the potential shortfall in capacity through other options," it said.
