India Expresses Interest In Purchasing Boeing C-17 Aircraft

On the heels of yesterday’s announcement that the United Arab Emirates recently finalized the purchase of six Boeing C-17 aircraft, Boeing released a statement today revealing that the nation of India has expressed interest in possibly purchasing ten additional aircraft.

India’s Ministry of Defence and the Indian Air Force submitted a Letter of Request to the United States government, inquiring about a potential deal. Boeing recently completed a series of C-17 demonstration flights in India, as the nation has been interested in replacing its current fleet of airlifters (Russian AN-32 and IL-76 aircraft).
