‘Highly confident’ Akasa Air to bring 150 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft on board
Akasa Air, which made a debut some 17 months ago, has placed an order for 150 B737 MAX aircraft with American planemaker Boeing. This order — comprising 737 MAX 10 and 737 MAX 8-200 variants — is set to be delivered between mid-2027 and 2032, announced Vinay Dube, chief executive officer of the airline, at the Wings India Summit 2024 in Hyderabad on Thursday.
This is Boeing’s first order since the recent Alaska Airlines incident, where a B737 MAX 9’s emergency exit door plug blew
out after takeoff, forcing an emergency landing.
