NEW DELHI: Signalling ambitious growth plans, Naresh Goyal's Jet Airways has placed an order for 75 Boeing 737 MAX-8 aircrafts. This is the biggest order for Boeing aircraft by an Indian carrier in years. The 737 MAX is Boeing's answer to Airbus' highly successful A-320 NEO.

Jet placed the order at the ongoing Dubai Air Show.

"The announcement marks the largest order in Jet Airways' history and supports the airline's replacement strategy to have the most modern and environmentally progressive airplane fleet. The order, previously attributed to an unidentified customer, includes conversions of 25 Next-Generation 737s to 737 MAX 8s, as well as options and purchase rights for an additional 50 aircraft," a Boeing statement said.

I think the Boeing 737 has got to be one of the longest serving commercial airliner. The first time I flew in a plane, was on a Boeing 737. MSA from Subang, KL to Paya Lebar Airport, Sg. This was way back in 1971.

Cheers!

What Indian power ...50 percent discount given for making that purchase at airshow. Bought on the cheap.

Airline will go bust .... it is for domestic and short haul international flights ...how many Indians can afford to fly?
