Akasa Air places order for B737MAX

Indian start-up Akasa Air has signed an order at the Dubai Air Show with Boeing for 72 B737MAXs. The order is not a surprise and was first reported on by us back in August when the airline applied for the necessary approvals.

The order consists of B737-8s and B737-8200s, although the exact breakdown has not been communicated by the airline and the manufacturer. A timeline on when deliveries are to start also hasn't been communicated but the Akasa Air is planning to launch flights in the half of 2022.
