India's biggest budget airline IndiGo has been trialing a booking feature that will allow women to avoid booking a seat next to men on flights. The feature, the first of its kind for an airline, works by showing female travelers a pink seat at the seat selection page if it will be occupied by a female passenger, a company representative told CNBC Travel. Travelers on IndiGo must identify their genders when they purchase tickets, which allows the airline to control access to these details, according to Indigo. However, IndiGo's website and mobile app did not show the feature when CNBC did a check. The new feature has received "positive individual reactions" on social media, IndiGo's CEO told CNBC's "Street Signs Asia" last week.

IndiGo has retained 14 of its older Airbus A320ceo, extended leases on 36 other aircraft, and is taking 11 additional aircraft on lease starting November. The company is in talks with Pratt & Whitney for compensation over engine issues and expected payments to be staggered, he said. Close to 40 IndiGo planes are currently grounded due to older issues with Pratt & Whitney engines and the airline is yet to ascertain the number of groundings from the new problems.

London CNN —India’s stock market is booming as investors take a chance on one of the few bright spots in a fragile global economy. The country’s stocks are so hot that India is now home to the world’s fourth most valuable equity market, behind only the United States, China and Japan. The total value of Indian equities has hit $3.5 trillion, greater than the value of Europe’s two biggest stock markets, in the UK and France, according to data from Refinitiv. Bright prospectsThe surge in Indian equities is a reflection of the strength and potential of the country’s economy, according to economists and fund managers. “The Indian equity market is the classic example of ‘expensive for a reason’,” he said.

PARIS, June 22 (Reuters) - The first Paris Airshow in four years has clocked up billions of dollars in commercial jet orders and offered some respite for suppliers as air travel springs back sharply from the pandemic. The industry returned to Le Bourget with high expectations of commercial orders and low expectations regarding the supply chain, but generated a more balanced picture on both fronts. Announced orders reached near-record levels but were heavily dominated by two airlines leading the charge in India, the world's fastest growing market: IndiGo (INGL.NS) and Air India. A key focus of the show was how those planes will be produced after the pandemic disrupted supply chains. Several major companies said they had built up more buffer stocks and were seeing signs of improvement in supply chains.

In another key market, Airbus said Saudi budget airline flynas had firmed up an order for 30 of its A320neo-family narrowbody aircraft, confirming a Bloomberg report. France's Thales (TCFP.PA) also announced a contract from Indonesia for 13 long-range air surveillance radars.

London CNN —Airbus has just landed the biggest-ever aircraft order in the history of commercial aviation. The French aerospace giant announced Monday that budget Indian airline IndiGo had placed an order for 500 of its A320 planes, to be delivered between 2030 and 2035. The deal sets “the record for the biggest single purchase agreement in the history of commercial aviation,” Airbus (EADSY) said in a statement, and brings the total number of Airbus (EADSY) planes IndiGo has ordered to 1,330. Founded in 2006, IndiGo is India’s top airline by market share, according to its website. In February, IndiGo’s rival Air India ordered more than 470 jets from Airbus and Boeing (BA).

The multibillion-dollar deal is the largest ever by number of aircraft, eclipsing Air India's provisional purchase of 470 jets earlier this year as India's two largest carriers plan for a sharp expansion in regional travel demand. With the growth of India (and) the growth of the Indian aviation market ... this is the right time for us to place this order," IndiGo Chief Executive Pieter Elbers told a news conference. Indian carriers now have the second-largest order book, with an over 6% share of the industry backlog, behind only the United States, according to a June 1 report by Barclays. After signing the IndiGo deal, Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury said it was premature to start thinking about narrowbody jet production rates higher than the planned 75 per month. It continues to hold separate talks with Airbus and rival Boeing (BA.N) for 25 widebody planes, which could either be Airbus A330neos or Boeing 787 jets, sources have said.

ISTANBUL, June 4 (Reuters) - Airbus (AIR.PA) is closing towards a potentially record deal to sell 500 narrow-body A320-family jets to India's largest carrier IndiGo (INGL.NS), industry sources said on Sunday. Airbus and Boeing (BA.N) are also still competing in separate talks to sell 25 A330neo or Boeing 787 wide-body jets to the same airline, the industry sources said. IndiGo is already one of Airbus's largest customers and has so far ordered a total of 830 Airbus A320-family jets of which nearly 500 are still to be delivered. IndiGo aims to double its capacity by the end of the decade and expand its network, especially in international markets. The airline has a codeshare partnership with seven carriers including Turkish Airlines, American Airlines and KLM.

In September 2001, Fernandes bought the AirAsia brand from a Malaysian government-owned conglomerate for the equivalent of 30 cents at the time. And he's ready to walk away: "Good leadership is to know when to go," he told Bloomberg in an interview published Tuesday. And though he's already talking about plans to replace him, Fernandes doesn't know "exactly when I press the button." Newly privatized carrier Air India appointed an executive of Scoot, the low-cost arm of Singapore Airlines, as CEO in June. There were also airline executive reshuffling at American Airlines and Southwest Airlines in December.
