New Indian carrier Akasa Air, a brand of SNV Aviation, has ordered 72 Boeing 737 MAX airplanes to build its fleet. Valued at nearly US$9 billion at list prices, the order is a key endorsement of the 737 family’s capability to serve the rapidly growing Indian market.
Akasa Air’s order includes two variants of the 737 MAX family, the 737-8 and the high-capacity 737-8-200. Providing the lowest seat-mile costs for a single-aisle airplane as well as high dispatch reliability and an enhanced passenger experience, the 737 MAX will ensure Akasa Air has a competitive edge in its dynamic home market.
