The trying circumstances in the aviation industry hasn't impacted orders or delivery of aircraft, said a top official of American manufacturer Boeing.
None of the airlines, including the crisis-hit Jet Airways, have asked for a change in delivery schedule, said Dinesh Keskar, Senior Vice President of sales, Asia-Pacific and India, at Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
"It is not that easy to change delivery schedule," Keskar told Moneycontrol on the sidelines of the Global Aviation Summit in Mumbai.
"It is a very finely defined production system. It is very expensive to change that. We can do it (change in delivery schedule) three years in advance, before we start making them. But not otherwise," added Keskar, who has been spearheading the world's largest aircraft maker in India for the past two decades.
Even if there is a change at Jet Airways, Keskar said, "somebody will take over, will handle the deliveries. We hope so".
The Naresh Goyal-led airline had last year received first of its Boeing 737 Max, which it had ordered in 2015. In total, Jet Airways has ordered 150 737 Max aircraft, which promise to reduce fuel costs by up to 15 percent.
