For its fleet expansion, domestic low-cost carrier SpiceJet has selected BoeingÂ’s 737 Max, fuel-efficient and narrow body aircraft. The latest offering from Boeing promises 13 per cent fuel savings over the current generation of planes and would enter into service from 2017.
Sources said that SpiceJetÂ’s order size could be of 40-50 planes. At list price, a 737 Max aircraft is valued at about $100 million (Rs 620 crore). Industry analysts say that the 737 Max order would take care of SpiceJetÂ’s future growth plans.
