INDIA has lifted its ban on Boeing's 737 Max jet, a significant boost to Boeing, leaving China as the only leading aviation market yet to allow the aircraft to resume service, reports London's Air Cargo News.
The decision comes after India observed no untoward reporting on jets already flying since 17 global regulators allowed it to resume flights.
The Max was grounded worldwide two years ago following crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia that killed 346 people. US, Europe and most other major markets allowed the jet to resume flights in late 2020 or after extensive fixes, with China and India being the last two.
Boeing forecasts airlines in India will need 2,200 new jets worth almost US$320 billion over the next 20 years as their emerging middle-class upgrades from trains and buses.
