As we enter the month-end over the weekend, Air India Express has taken delivery of two more Boeing 737 MAX 8s. There are significant implications from this.
The two aircraft, VT-BWX and VT-BWQ, were ordered by China Southern and Xiamen, respectively. At delivery, these aircraft had aged considerably. The former was 2,251 days since its first flight, and the latter was 2,063 days from its first flight.
Co-Founder AirInsight. My previous life includes stints at Shell South Africa, CIC Research, and PA Consulting. Got bitten by the aviation bug and ended up an Avgeek. Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.
