The timing and size of this order from Akasa Air will be a big confidence booster for Boeing.
After a horrific start to January, Boeing has received a much needed boost. The good news has come from India where the country's youngest carrier Akasa Air has ordered 150 Boeing 737 Max aircraft. The deal was confirmed at the aviation event Wings India 2024 on Thursday in Hyderabad.
As Akasa looks to fly international, this latest order, comprising 737 Max 10 and 737 Max 8-200 planes, is expected to provide the airline a steady aircraft delivery stream through 2032. It brings the carrier's current order book to 226 aircraft.
