US President Joe Biden has hailed a "historic agreement" for Air India to purchase 220 Boeing BA.N airplanes with a list price of USD 34 billion, Reuters reported.
It is also the part of the agreement that Air India may buy 70 more aircraft apart from 220 originally mentioned in the agreement that will take the value of the deal to USD 45.9 billion.
According to the deal, Air India will purchase 190 B737 MAX, 20 B787, and 10 B777X aircrafts.
