"Akasa Air's Ambitious Expansion: Eyes 150 Boeing Jets Amid Rapid Growth Concerns"
Indian budget airline Akasa Air is on the verge of placing an order for approximately 150 Boeing 737 MAX planes, aiming to expand its domestic and international operations. The deal, which is expected to be announced at the Wings India aviation event, will add to Akasa's existing order of 76 Boeing aircraft. This move reflects the airline's recovery from a recent pilot shortage and its intention to capitalize on the post-COVID travel surge in one of the world's fastest-growing aviation markets.
