SpiceJet places order for 20 Boeing 737 MAX 10 planes

Order is for 20 new 737 MAX 10 planes and conversion of 20 of SpiceJet's 737 MAX 8 aircraft

SpiceJet will buy 20 Boeing 737 MAX 10 while converting 20 of their existing 737 MAX 8 order to 10, as it looks to carry more passengers between Indian metros where airports remain congested.
 

Boeing has launched the 737 MAX 10 as a bigger version of the 737 MAX 9 with increased seating of 230 in a single class configuration. The airline currently operates 35 Boeing 737-800 and 737-900 Next generation planes which have a seating capacity of 212 and 189, respectively.
 

 If the order is finalised, SpiceJet will also become the launch customer for the newest version of aircraft.
