IndiGo likely to induct a few B737 MAX planes

IndiGo is likely to induct a few B737 MAX planes for the first time, as more than one-fifth of its fleet is grounded due to Pratt & Whitney (PW) engine issues, it is learnt. The MAX planes are likely to be wet leased from Qatar Airways and they could be used to operate flights between India and Doha. In a wet lease, the lessor provides not only the aircraft but also additional services such as cabin crew and maintenance. The airline plans to lease the planes from Qatar Airways for six months, according to reports. The aircraft are less than four years old and are currently being operated by the Doha-based carrier, as per the reports.
