"Indian Airline Akasa Orders 150 Boeing 737 MAX Jets, Boosting Boeing's Prospects"

Indian airline Akasa Air has placed an order for 150 Boeing 737 Max aircraft, providing a much-needed boost for the troubled planemaker. The order, which includes 737 Max 10 and 737 Max 8-200 models, excludes the Max 9 planes that have been grounded by US regulators. This comes amidst a series of recent incidents involving Boeing aircraft, including an emergency landing of an Alaska Airlines flight and a critical failure on US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's modified Boeing 737 plane. The order reflects India's growing aviation market and aims to position Akasa Air as one of the top 30 leading airlines in the world by the end of the decade.
