Mint Bangalore
|December 31, 2024
Budget carrier SpiceJet Ltd. aims to operationalize 30 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, grounded for reasons ranging from payment default to lessors and component shortages, in the next 12-15 months as it seeks to expand its services.
Speaking at the company's annual general meeting on Monday, chairman and managing director Ajay Singh also hinted at resuming talks with aircraft manufacturer Boeing for pending deliveries. The airline had placed an order for 200 B737 MAX aircraft with the American firm in 2017.
Singh said, "We will restart our talks with Boeing, we received 13 aircraft, we will talk with the company to restart deliveries, hopefully we can do this in the upcoming months."
