Boeing says grounded 737 Max planes may be back in service by March
New Delhi: Boeing Co. expects its grounded 737 Max aircraft to return to the skies globally by the first quarter of next year, in what would be a huge relief to airlines including India’s SpiceJet Ltd.
A definite timeline for the return of the narrow-body planes would depend however on aviation regulators in various countries, Darren Hulst, deputy vice-president of commercial marketing at Boeing said at the release of the company’s commercial market outlook for India.
The Chicago-based company has predicted airlines in India will need 2,380 new planes valued at $330 billion over the next 20 years to handle growing demand for air travel.
