Aviation boom! Boeing says huge potential for widebody aircraft in India

The exponential growth of international traffic to and from India has the potential for further induction of widebody aircraft by domestic airlines, Boeing India President Salil Gupte told FE.

“As the world’s third-largest civil aviation market, India’s fleet is set to nearly quadruple in size by 2041 compared to 2019,”Gupte said. “With this expansion, India-based airlines have a significant opportunity to capture their fair share in international markets, especially to the US, Canada, Europe and Australia,” he added.
