Indigo, one of the few Indian carriers with enough cash to aggressively expand, has been mapping out a way to build a long-haul, low-cost business taking passengers from places like New Delhi to London, with a stop in, say, Istanbul. It’s been weighing whether to place an order for Airbus’s A330neo or Boeing Co.’s 787 wide-bodies, but the bigger narrowbodies it just converted to could help satisfy that requirement — especially if the carrier opts to take the longer-range A321 variant.

The report said the top five source countries that targeted India included Russia (2,55,589 attacks), followed by the US (1,03,458), China (42,544), the Netherlands (19,169) and Germany (15,330) – totalling 4,36,090 attacks.
