Interglobe Aviation , operating IndiGo, India's largest airline, has entered into two significant agreements with Thales, a global technology leader, aimed at enhancing its operational efficiency and modernizing its fleet management systems.

11-Year Avionics Maintenance Contract

The first contract is an extensive 11-year avionics maintenance agreement covering IndiGo's impressive fleet of over 1,200 aircraft. This includes:

• Maintenance for the current fleet of 430 Airbus A320 aircraft
• Support for future orders exceeding 800 A32X aircraft

Thales will provide repair services through its specialized programs:

• 'Avionics-By-The-Hour'
• 'Repair-By-The-Hour'

These services will be facilitated through Thales' new MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) facility in Gurugram, India. This strategic location is expected to ensure prompt and efficient service for IndiGo's growing fleet.

Five-Year Electronic Flight Bag Agreement

The second contract is a five-year agreement with AvioBook, a Thales company, focusing on extending Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) usage across IndiGo's entire fleet. Key points of this agreement include:

• Implementation of the AvioBook Flight system
• Approval from India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for paperless operations
• Support for over 650,000 flights annually

The AvioBook Flight system is designed to streamline cockpit operations, reduce paper usage, and enhance overall flight efficiency.

Implications for IndiGo

These contracts signify IndiGo's commitment to:

1. Maintaining a state-of-the-art fleet with reliable avionics systems
2. Embracing digital solutions to improve operational efficiency
3. Preparing for significant fleet expansion, with orders for over 800 new aircraft

By partnering with Thales, IndiGo is positioning itself to handle its ambitious growth plans while ensuring high standards of maintenance and technological advancement in its operations.

The long-term nature of these agreements, spanning 11 years for avionics maintenance and 5 years for EFB solutions, underscores the airline's confidence in Thales' expertise and technology offerings.

As the Indian aviation market continues to grow, these strategic partnerships are likely to play a crucial role in IndiGo's efforts to maintain its market leadership and operational excellence.
