Air India has agreed to purchase 220 Boeing planes, including 190 Boeing 737 MAXs, 20 Boeing 787s, and 10 Boeing 777Xs, valued at $34 billion at list price. The deal also includes options for an additional 50 Boeing 737 MAXs and 20 Boeing 787s, worth a total of $45.9 billion at list price.

Releasing US President Joe Biden’s statement, the White House said, “The United States can and will lead the world in manufacturing. I am proud to announce today the purchase of over 200 American-made aircraft through a historic agreement between Air India and Boeing.”
“This purchase will support over one million American jobs across 44 states, and many will not require a four-year college degree. This announcement also reflects the strength of the U.S.-India economic partnership,” the statement added
