It marks the U.S. plane maker's third-largest sale of all time, in dollar value, and its second of all time in quantity.Air India is also buying 250 passenger jets from European plane manufacturer Airbus, with the orders championed by the leaders of the U.S., France and India.The Boeing "purchase will support over 1 million American jobs across 44 states, and many will not require a four-year college degree," U.S.

President Joe Biden said. "This announcement also reflects the strength of the U.S.-India economic partnership."Air India is seeking to reinvent itself by expanding its operations and modernizing its fleet.

The new jets will help the airline's owner, Tata Sons, compete against upstart discount rivals including India’s dominant carrier, IndiGo."India is going to be the world’s third-largest market in the aviation sector," Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a videoconference.
