Singapore: Boeing says Indian carriers will not be “at the front end of the programme” for its 777X, but expects discussions for the type to feature more prominently in two to three years.
Speaking to Flightglobal, Dinesh Keskar, senior vice-president of sales in Asia Pacific and India, says this is because the country’s only two widebody operators still have relatively young Boeing 777-300ERs in their fleets.
Air India for instance has 12 -300ERs in service, averaging at six years old. It also has another three of the type on order, Flightglobal’s Fleets Analyzer shows.
Jet Airways meanwhile has four -300ERs averaging at eight years old in operation, and another five of the type on lease to Etihad Airways.
