More than 800 new aircraft are likely to enter the Indian aviation market, that has been seeing a double digit growth, in the coming years. Carriers like SpiceJet, IndiGo, GoAir and Jet Airways have plans or firmed up orders for over 800 new planes, including a good number of smaller aircraft. This includes 20 latest Boeing 737 MAX 10 aircraft and 40 Q400 turboprop planes from Bombardier. The budget carrier on Tuesday announced plans to purchase 50 Q400 turboprop aircraft from Bombardier, a day after signing a pact for buying 40 Boeing 737 MAX planes. Back in November 2015, full-service airline Jet Airways announced placing an order for 75 fuel-efficient Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
