Civil Aviation Minister: Akasa’s Order Of 150 Boeing Sircraft Is First Order To Be Signed On Indian Soil

Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia says, “Landmark order, the first order of its kind to be signed in India for the procurement of triple-digit aircraft. Akasa’s order of 150 Boeing aircraft is the first order to be signed on Indian soil. This is in addition to the already 22 that are in their fleet and the balance 54 that are awaiting delivery. This follows the two orders that are landmarks as far as international orders are concerned – the order of Airbus and Boeing with Air India and IndiGo for 500 aircraft and 470 aircraft. We have also seen the Airbus A350, the first Air India aircraft that was unveiled today brought in by Airbus with the new Air India livery across the belly and tail. This aircraft will have a higher efficiency with 25% lower fuel burn, world-class ambience and 9700 nautical mile flying range between 300-410 passengers. It has the capability to fly with 50% sustainable aviation fuel and up to 100% by 2030.”
