IndiGo signs LOI for freighters

Following up on our report from 11 March, IndiGo has now announced it has signed a LOI for two A321P2Fs and expects to finalise a deal for another two shortly. With these four aircraft, IndiGo is set to venture in the all-cargo flying business.

The airline expects to take delivery of the first A321P2F in the first half of 2022, with the other three following within a year. IndiGo is planning to use their freighters on both domestic and international routes and might expand the freighter-fleet, depending on demand and success.

So far, the airline has only been operating passenger aircraft and its fleet currently exists of 25 ATR72-600s, 67 A320s, 121 A320neos and 40 A321neos. The arrival of the A321P2Fs also means these will be the first "old" A321s for the airline.
