Akasa Air, India’s third-largest airline, is in talks to order more than 200 Boeing 737 MAX jets, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg, as the airline looks to expand its share of India’s growing air travel market and secure aircraft deliveries into the next decade.
The Mumbai-based carrier, which began operations in 2022, already has unfilled orders for 183 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, the report said. The additional purchase would allow Akasa to continue growing its fleet beyond 2032.
