Domestic carrier Akasa Air and engine maker CFM International on Friday announced an agreement, under which Akasa Air will purchase over 300 CFM LEAP-1B engines for its 150 Boeing 737 MAX airplanes.
The agreement also includes spare engines and a services contract, Akasa Air said in a statement. The airline, however, did not disclose the deal size. On January 18, Akasa Air had announced an order for 150 Boeing 737 Max planes.
The Mumbai-based air operator launched its operations in August 2022 and had previously ordered a total of 76 LEAP-1B-powered 737-8 aircraft. Currently, 22 of these planes are in service.
