Air India to order 30 Boeing Max Jets as travel demand surges

Air India is set to confirm an order for 30 additional Boeing 737 Max aircraft at the Hyderabad airshow, finalising options placed in 2023 as part of its rapid fleet expansion amid surging air travel demand in India. The order builds on Air India’s earlier commitment to buy 470 aircraft from Boeing and Airbus, including 220 Boeing jets, most of which are being deployed by its low-cost arm, Air India Express. This follows the airline’s confirmation of 100 Airbus aircraft last year.
