Akasa Air orders four more B737 Max aircraft from US-based Boeing
Akasa Air on Wednesday ordered four more B737 Max planes, taking its total order book with Boeing from 72 to 76 aircraft. According to the airline, these orders would support its “international expansion.”
“We are also on track to finalise another significant three-digit aircraft order. We will be ready to announce it before the end of the calendar year,” Vinay Dube, founder and chief executive officer (CEO), said in a statement.
According to government rules, an airline can start operating international flights once it has 20 planes in its fleet. Akasa Air currently has 19 Max planes and is operating about 945 flights per week, connecting 16 cities in India.
