The Wadia family-promoted budget carrier GoAir on Wednesday said it has placed an order worth $1.2 billion with Toulouse-based Airbus Industrie to buy 20 Airbus 320 aircraft as part of the airline's fleet expansion programme.

The deal was finalised during the Singapore Airshow, a company release said on Wednesday.

The additional aircraft will be used for connectivity in north Indian and metro-to-metro flight routes, Go Air managing director Jeh Wadia said.

The A-320 family aircraft would have a single-class economy layout with 180 seats.

Launched in November last year, GoAir presently has a fleet of three A-320 aircraft and operates 24 flights covering 11 cities.
