The US -Chinese War: Indian Airlines may benefit from the unproductive “Boeing Fleet”

Indian transport companies such as Air India Express and Akasa Air may appear as indirect beneficiaries of the current trade war between the United States and China.

Earlier this week, China has directed its airlines to avoid the purchase of Boeing aircraft in response to US President Donald Trump’s revenge to impose a 245 % tariff on some imports from China.

BoEING-Evertt and Renton Production Facilities near Seattle, Washington-Washington-are famous for their large-scale production of commercial and defensive aircraft.

Reports indicate that Chinese airlines are currently waiting for the delivery of nearly 100 Boeing 737 MAX – the same planes that Air India Express and Akasa Air have requested. Indeed, until 2027, the three largest transport companies in China – China, East China, South China – 45, 53 and 81 Boeing aircraft were scheduled to receive, according to reports.

With Diktat from Beijing to airlines that disrupt the demand pipeline, the Indian aviation sector may be in a good position to take advantage of this opportunity. Air India’s massive request book includes 20 Boeing 787 Dreamlines, and 10 Boeing 777X WideBody aircraft. In the narrow part, the airline has provided 190 Boeing 737 MAX orders – placed well in Boeing’s global priorities.

“Buying and acquiring aircraft are somewhat complicated topics, but many of the manufacturer maintains our cost in choice, especially when there is a shortage of aircraft in the market,” said a senior executive of the airline to Today TV.

Boeing’s late delivery operations have already affected the latest flight in India, Akasa, which is currently hiring a much more pilot than her current fleet requirements.

However, according to industry analysts, both AKASA and Tata have a financial space to accommodate additional aircraft, if available.
