Air India considers potential acquisition of Boeing aircrafts initially declined by China.
Air Indy's eyes are on some Boeing birds, y'all!
With China slighting Boeing's 737 MAX planes due to trade beef with the U.S., Air Indy's low-cost subsidiary, Air India Express, seems keen on snagging 'em. Two insiders spilled the beans to Reuters that Air Indy's got a hankerin' for 'em.
"Air Indy's calling dibs!" exclaimed a source familiar with the sitch. If the deal's a go, those planes could be joining Air Indy's fleet before year's end, according to reports. But don't hold your breath, because talks are still in diplomatic dance mode. Neither Air Indy, Air India Express, nor Boeing have comment yet.
Now, let's put on our history hats. Air India Express is no stranger to picking up planes left unclaimed by others, aka "white tail" aircraft. And if this deal comes through, it'd help Air Indy beef up its fleet to meet increased demand. You see, they've been face-to-face with some delivery delays from aircraft manufacturers.
