There has been a spate of new aircraft deliveries arriving for Indian carriers in the last fortnight. It’s not just been Air India taking delivery of its first Airbus A350-900 on December 22 and deliveries to Air India Express, IndiGo, and Vistara through December, but also more Boeing MAX 8s for Akasa Air.
Akasa, the youngest commercial airline in India, took delivery of one MAX 8 on December 28, which arrived home on the 31st. The second Boeing departed a day later and arrived in Hyderabad on January 1. The new deliveries take the fleet to 22 aircraft in 18 months of operations.
