New Delhi, Oct 17 (PTI) IndiGo on Friday signed a contract with Airbus to buy an additional 30 A350-900 aircraft, taking the total firm orders for the wide-body planes to 60.

The country's largest airline, which has been expanding its international network, has now the purchase rights for another 40 A350 family aircraft.

The airline said it has signed a contract with Airbus confirming the conversion of 30 out of its 70 purchase rights of Airbus A350-900 aircraft into firm orders.
