New Delhi: Indian budget carrier Akasa Air is set to close an order for around 150 Boeing 737 MAX narrowbody planes, two sources said, its latest bid to tap the travel boom in the world’s fastest-growing aviation market.
Contract negotiations are ongoing and a deal is expected to be announced at Wings India, the country’s largest civil aviation event scheduled for Jan. 18-21, said the two sources familiar with the ongoing talks.
An Akasa spokesperson said the airline does not comment on speculation, while Boeing did not respond to Reuters’ queries. The sources declined to be named as the plane order details are confidential.
