Boeing will sell 150 of its 737 MAX aircraft to India's Akasa
Air, boosting the low-cost airline's overall order book to more
than 200 as it seeks to expand to international destinations.
Akasa Air will acquire a mix of single-aisle MAX 10 and MAX
8-200 jets, with deliveries slated through 2032, it said in a press
release Thursday.
Akasa Air Chief Executive Vinay Dube said the order would help
the company expand into international operations "in the very near
future."
The airline's total order book from Boeing now stands at 226,
with its current fleet size at 22. Akasa Air--India's newest
airline--placed it first order for Boeing MAX aircraft in 2021 and
launched in August 2022.
The company offers services to 18 cities across India, and plans
to expand into the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
