<p>Airbus has unveiled a possible mega-order for its planned new eco-conscious A320neo jet &#8211; a deal the European aircraft manufacturer is calling the largest in aviation history.</p>
<p>The commitment by Indian low-cost carrier IndiGo for 180 A320s &#8211; including 150 of the new A320neos &#8211; would have a value at list prices of 15.6 billion US dollars (£10 billion) if converted into a firm order, Airbus said.</p>
<p>Airbus said it would be the biggest order in terms of number of jets in aviation history.</p>
<p>The deal won applause from industry analysts.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a great win,&#8221; said Joseph Campbell, a New York-based aerospace analyst at Barclays Capital. &#8220;It&#8217;s just where you&#8217;d think it would come from, from one of these emerging, fast-growing markets and a fast-growing airline&#8230; It&#8217;s perfect.&#8221;</p>
<p>IndiGo is the first announced customer for the A320neo &#8211; a revamped version of the European aircraft maker&#8217;s workhorse jet that Airbus hopes to bring to market in 2016.</p>
<p>New features include more fuel-efficient engines and other technological features with the goal of fuel savings of 15% over its predecessor.</p>
<p>The new aircraft is also being designed with lower carbon emissions and engine noise in mind, Airbus said.</p>
<p>The A320 is Airbus&#8217;s best-selling plane. Over 6,800 have been ordered and over 4,500 delivered to more than 310 customers worldwide since the single-aisle plane went into service in 1988. It was designed to compete with Boeing&#8217;s 737 family, which has been running since 1968.</p>
