Akasa Air Bolsters Fleet with Boeing 737 MAX Aircraft from Avolon

Akasa Air has expanded its partnership with Avolon by adding seven Boeing 737 MAX aircraft to its fleet. This is the third deal between the two companies, with Avolon supplying Akasa with high-capacity variants of the popular plane.

The Boeing 737-8200 offers improved operating economics and lower fuel consumption compared to previous-generation aircraft, according to Avolon.

Akasa's Chief of Governance and Strategic Acquisitions Priya Mehra stated that the airline is pleased to further strengthen its partnership with Avolon through this transaction. She added that it 'is a testament to our shared long-term conviction in Akasa Air’s growth trajectory and the strength of the Indian aviation market.'

Avolon sees India as one of the world's fastest-growing aviation markets, supported by strong economic fundamentals and increasing demand for air travel.
