Air India subsidiary Air India Express on Friday said it has taken the delivery of its first two new Boeing 737 MAX-8 aircraft at the Boeing facility in Washington, USA. These deliveries are a part of the 470 aircraft order that Air India Group had placed with Boing and Airbus earlier this year and come ahead of the merger of another subsidiary AIX Connect (earlier known as AirAsia India) with Air India Express.
Once the merger is completed, the combined entity will operate as a low-cost arm of Air India.
