Jet Airways India Ltd. purchased another 75 of Boeing Co.’s 737 Max aircraft for about $8.8 billion as it looks to continue rapid expansion in the world’s fastest-growing major aviation market.
The latest purchase brings the airline’s backlog for the narrowbody plane to 225, Jet said in a statement Monday. It already placed two 75-plane orders, the most recent in April, with the first 737 Max delivery arriving last week.
