US EditionAir India Expands Fleet with 30 New Boeing 737 MAX Jets
The 30-jet order, expanding Air India's Boeing fleet to nearly 200, supports regional growth and rising demand in one of the fastest-growing aviation markets, Boeing said.
- At the Wings Airshow in Hyderabad, Boeing and Air India said they ordered 30 fuel-efficient 737 MAX jets on Jan. 29, 2026.
- Exercising existing options, Air India expanded its route network and finalised incremental purchases this month, building on 2023 orders to support steady deliveries and fleet upgrades.
- The deal specifies 20 737-8s and 10 737-10s, with 737-8s operating on high-frequency domestic and short‑haul regional routes leveraging dispatch reliability and fuel efficiency.
- The purchase expands Air India's capacity on single‑aisle routes and improves fuel efficiency while moving its Boeing order book closer to nearly 200 airplanes.
- Boeing's forecast shows long-term single-aisle demand in the region, with nearly 3,300 new airplanes needed and 90% single-aisle demand, while Campbell Wilson says it's part of Air India's broader fleet strategy.
