IndiGo to fit its fleet with innovative water nozzles

As part of the association between IndiGo and Altered, the airline’s fleet of Airbus have been fitted with customised water saving nozzles. This innovative solution will lead to savings from fuel and water cost, along with significant reduction in carbon emissions. This is perhaps the first of its kind application of water conservation solutions for the aviation sector. The modification will also help solve the challenge of water quantity in long flights. 

Captain Ashim Mittra, senior vice president, Flight Operations, IndiGo said, “IndiGo is proud to partner with Altered to integrate this low effort but high impact solution for making our day-to-day operations more sustainable. As India’s leading airline, we are committed to help address the scarcity of natural resources and the increasing impact of climate change. We understand the importance of sustainability for our future generations, and with this new initiative, we aim to conserve water and reduce carbon emissions in our operations.” 

Johan Nihlen, CEO of Altered, said: “Our ambition is to redefine water saving for everyone and partnering with IndiGo gave us a golden opportunity to bring a significant impact through a small change. Today, IndiGo is the world's first airline to integrate our solution across its fleet, setting a sustainable benchmark for the industry.”
