Boeing to deliver 24 aircraft to Indian carriers this year

Hindustan Times  

NEW DELHI: US planemaker Boeing on Thursday said it will deliver 24 aircraft to Indian carriers in 2025, with plans to deliver more starting 2027. Boeing also said that India and South Asia’s commercial airplane fleet will grow nearly four-fold over the next 20 years, with the region’s carriers needing over 2,800 new aircraft by 2043 to meet growing demand. “Continued growth will be fuelled by greater demand and a rise in the region’s air traffic, which will grow more than 7% annually through 2043, driven by sustained economic growth, improved connectivity, and policies that support air travel liberalisation, according to Boeing’s current commercial market outlook,” a statement issued by the company said. Ashwin Naidu, managing director of commercial marketing for India and South Asia at Boeing, said that the region will need 2,835 new aircraft by 2043, continuing the fleet growth observed over the last decade. “The India and South Asia region continues to be the world’s fastest-growing commercial aviation market due to strong economic and trade growth, rising household incomes, and investments in infrastructure and development.” Boeing also said investments in airports are helping build infrastructure across the country.
