Industry Indian Jet Airways to order 75 Boeing 737 Max 10

Jet Airways has announced to order 75 new aircraft of the type Boeing 737 MAX 10, with an option for additional 74 aircraft. This order is a follow up for an already existing order of 75 smaller 737 Max 8s. The deal has a value of approximately 9 billion USD, according to current list prices. Significant rebates are, however, common when facing orders of this size.

"Incorporating the latest design and technology features, the highly efficient 737 MAX will allow us to drive our operational efficiency and reaffirms our commitment to providing a best-in-class full service travel experience to our guests," said Naresh Goyal, chairman of Jet Airways. "This order is an endorsement of our confidence in the long-term prospects of the Indian aviation sector, which reflects the positive forecast for the country's economy and offers tremendous potential for growth and development."

Earlier this year, the private Indian carrier has announced to discuss with both main manufacturers, Airbus as well as Boeing, for a potential aircraft order.

Jet airways’ current fleet consists of a total of 112 aircraft, 76 of those are Boeing 737, 18 are ATR turboprops and 18 long haul aircraft of the type A330 and B777.
