Just How Big, Really, Is the "Biggest Airplane Sale in History"?
It was, according to The Wall Street Journal, "the largest deal for commercial aircraft in aviation history."
On Feb. 14, 2023, Air India Ltd. announced an agreement to purchase 190 single-aisle 737 MAX airliners, 20 twin-aisle 787 Dreamliners, and 10 larger 777X widebodies from Boeing (NYSE: BA) -- 220 airplanes in all, and with an option to buy 70 more. But even then, the Indian commercial airline wasn't finished, announcing it would also buy 210 single-aisle A320 jets and 40 A350 wide-bodies from Airbus (OTC: EADSY).
So make that 470 airplanes ordered (and potentially eventually 540). All on a single day.
