India’s Jet Airways established
on Monday an order for 75 Boeing 737 planes previously listed on the US
manufacturer s book as for an unrevealed client.
"The
order, previously attributed to an anonymous customer, includes conversions of
25 Next-Generation 737s to 737 MAX8s, as well as options and purchase rights
for an additional 50 aircraft," Boeing said in a statement released at a
joint press conference at the Dubai Airshow.
"The
announcement marks the largest order in Jet Airways history and supports
the airline s replacement strategy," the statement said.
The
carrier, partly owned by Etihad Airways, has a fleet of 115 aircraft.
"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," said Natesh Goyal, chairman of Jet Airways.
