Both purchases exercised existing options as Air India expands its route network to meet rising travel demand. “This additional order for 30 Boeing 737 aircraft is part of our broader fleet strategy to position Air India firmly for the future, as a world-class global carrier that India deserves and the world expects. Building on our 2023 orders and subsequent additions, this order supports steady deliveries and fleet upgrades planned over the next few years,” Campbell Wilson, CEO and managing director of Air India, said. “We value Air India’s confidence in the 737-10 and 737-8 to provide the capacity and versatility they need as a cornerstone of their single-aisle growth strategy,” said Paul Righi, Boeing vice president of Commercial Sales and Marketing, Eurasia, India, and South Asia.
