 NEW DELHI (AP) - Boeing Co. has won a firm order for 10 jets from India's Air Sahara, a company official said Monday, as the U.S. aircraft maker nearly doubled its forecast for India's airplane demand amid brisk economic growth and a boom in air travel.
The deal with Air Sahara for the Boeing 737-800 jets is valued at $700 million at list price, said Dinesh Keskar, Boeing's senior vice president of sales for South Asia and Southeast Asia. Airlines frequently receive discounts for large purchases.
Delivery of the planes will start in mid-2009, Keskar said.
