Boeing Co. is in preliminary discussions with Indian startup Akasa Air regarding a potential purchase of 200 aircraft, according to a report from Bloomberg.
The report indicates that the negotiations are currently in the early stages. While the talks are ongoing, no definitive agreement has been reached, and the terms of a potential deal have not been disclosed.
Akasa Air is a relatively new airline in the Indian market. The potential order would involve Boeing's 737 Max model, a narrow-body jet widely used by commercial carriers.
The development comes as Boeing seeks to expand its footprint in the Asian aviation market. India is considered a key growth region for the global airline industry.
