Looking at Airbus O&D sheet for August 2019, I see that Indigo has 87 A320neo delivered against 88 in operation. Didn't understand the difference of 1. Is there any 1 particular aircraft taken on lease or not from the order of 280? SourceMSN 9155, VT-IJP was delivered in September. But the Airbus August O&D sheet only counts deliveries up until the end of the August, hence the one frame difference. But than should be a difference between the overall delivered and in service, too. But both are at 720. So it really looks that there is another now used by Indigo delivered to someone else before.

But that must have been a contractual delivery in September (the former being 18 July . . .) The only logical explanation is that Indigo operates one neo which was contractually delivered to a leasing company since they do not have any second-hands. Having a look at the lessors in the Indigo fleet list at Planespotters.net there is one that stands out: CMB Financial Leasing. They ordered ONE and had TWO delivered . . . (plus also a few on sale and leaseback with Indigo). EDIT: Seems both delivered neo's are with Air China. . . Oh well.

Ahhh I see it seems like I mis-understood zionite question. So it really looks that there is another now used by Indigo delivered to someone else before. Could it be an ex-Shenzhen aircraft we don't yet know about? Operational number for ZH was reduced from 6 to 4 on the O+D (July/August numbers). I think we should instead be looking at the June/July numbers since IndiGo #of frames in operation jumped up to 88 in July. So in July not only Shenzhen airlines drop from 6 to 4, Lucky air drop from 6 to 4 as well. Both numbers are the # in operations. Oh well... I don't think we can find a definite answer just from the O & D sheet. Personally I felt like it's also possible this just for Indigo could be just a typo from Airbus?

I tried doing a research from mixing data from May, June and July datasheets. Gave up after some time. Shenzhen and Lucky stored the A320neo? All A320neo for Indigo are factory delivered. So 1 out of the 5 last delivered frames is contractually delivered to the leasing company and physically delivered to Indigo. In case of used A320ceo aircraft, Indigo uses a different series of registrations. Silly thought ahead... With the recent problems in engines, DGCA of India has asked Indigo and GoAir to stop accepting aircraft without the updates. Could it be that Airbus has loaned an aircraft to Indigo instead of delivery? Need to wait for 2 weeks to find out whats there in the September sheet.
