Investing.com -- Air India, the national carrier of India, is in negotiations with U.S. aircraft manufacturer Boeing (NYSE: BA ) to purchase approximately 10 of the 737 MAX jets, according to a Thursday report by Reuters. This development comes after Chinese customers began to decline deliveries due to the ongoing trade dispute with the United States.
Air India is reportedly interested in these narrowbody aircraft for its budget airline, Air India Express. The budget carrier currently operates a fleet of over 100 aircraft. The addition of the Boeing 737 MAX jets would bolster the fleet of the low-cost subsidiary.
