“We expect RCS to allow new routes to be opened up, which will create a market of our Boeing 737, as airlines will eventually upgrade the aircraft on routes that open up with regional connectivity,” said Dinesh Keskar, Boeing’s senior vice president for sales in the Asia-Pacific and India.

Keskar made the comment while announcing the US plane manufacturer’s market outlook for India. According to Boeing, Indian carriers would require about 2,100 airplanes worth $290 billion (Rs 18.59 lakh crore) over 20 years. Of total demand, about 1,780 aircraft required will be single-aisle aircraft. “Increasing number of passengers combined with a strong exchange rate, low fuel prices and high load factors bodes well for India’s aviation market,” he said.
