Boeing says India needs over 2000 single-aisle aircraft in 20 years

Boeing on Friday said Indian airline operators need over 2000 new single aisle aircraft over the next 20 years. South Asia’s air travel sector is dominated by the Indian market, which accounts for about 90 per cent, the US aircraft maker said in a press release.

“Indian operators will need just over 2,000 new single-aisle airplanes to meet demand during the forecast period. Single-aisle airplanes such as the 737 family will continue to serve growth in domestic and regional markets, including flights from India to the Middle East and Asia Pacific regions,” it said.
