SpiceJet expects Boeing jets to be in air by July

SpiceJet said it expects its Boeing 737 Max 8 jets to be back in the air by July, in a vote of confidence for the plane. SpiceJet is one of Boeing’s biggest global customers for the 737 Max 8 jets, with 13 in its fleet and a pending order for 192 more Max aircraft by 2025 as it plans to expand its capacity in the world’s fastest-growing domestic aviation market. “We expect that they will fly in July,” SpiceJet chairman and MD Ajay Singh said:. “We are confident that it’s a great plane. It’s a completely safe aircraft, so we are waiting for the regulators to take that view.” Global regulators are meeting Thursday to consider when the Boeing 737 Max can return to the skies following crashes that have undermined the reputation of the aircraft maker. <br/>
