National, April 21, 2021: Building on the success of the CarGo business in recent years, IndiGo – India’s
leading carrier – has initiated a freighter programme and is in the process of sourcing 4 A321ceo aircraft
each of which will be converted from passenger jets to a full freighter configuration. A Letter of Intent
has been signed with a lessor for two aircraft already, and IndiGo expects to reach agreement for the
next two shortly. The initiative will make best use of the natural synergies that IndiGo offers, using the
same pool of pilots and engineers that fly and service its current fleet.

India is about to sign a new multibillion-dollar deal with the US for P-8I sub-killers.

The A321P2F (Passenger-to-Freighter conversion) is the most efficient narrow-bodied freighter
available, offering 24 container positions and supporting a payload of up to 27 tonnes. These are being
converted through a programme involving ST Engineering and Airbus with their joint venture, Elbe
FlugzeugWerke (EFW).

IndiGo is expected to take the delivery of its first freighter in the first half of 2022, which will be used
for both domestic and regional missions. The remaining three aircraft in the initial commitment are
expected to arrive within a year or so from arrival of our first freighter, and further aircraft may be
sourced depending on market development.

Mr. Ronojoy Dutta, Chief Executive Officer and Wholetime Director, IndiGo said, “CarGo has been a
success story over the last year, scaling new heights and creating new records, but our belief in the
cargo business goes beyond the special circumstances right now. IndiGo was already the largest carrier
of cargo in domestic India before Covid-19, and we expect the market to continue to grow after the
pandemic. Our investment in the Airbus Freighter Programme will help strengthen our product and
services in the segment, and not only help accelerate our own business recovery but also be a strong
engine of economic growth for the country.”
