Indian Airlines Poised to Benefit as China Halts Boeing Purchases
Air India Express and Akasa Air May Gain from China’s Boeing Ban Amid US-China Trade Tensions

Amid escalating US-China trade tensions, China has instructed its airlines to suspend Boeing jet deliveries and halt purchases of American aircraft parts, responding to increased US tariffs on Chinese goods. This development opens opportunities for Indian carriers like Air India Express and Akasa Air to secure earlier Boeing aircraft deliveries, as Chinese orders are deferred. With China’s major airlines pausing Boeing acquisitions, Indian airlines stand to benefit from improved access to aircraft, potentially accelerating their fleet expansion plans. This shift could enhance India’s aviation sector, allowing carriers to meet growing domestic and international travel demands more effectively. As global supply chains adjust, Indian airlines may find themselves in a favorable position to capitalize on the changing dynamics in aircraft availability – timesnownews.com
