Boeing has reiterated that it doesn't expect any Indian carriers to defer or cancel orders already placed with the US plane maker despite a slowdown in the air travel sector, Dow Jones reported.
Boeing has to deliver 100 planes worth US$17 billion to Indian carriers over the next five years.
Boeing is due to deliver 44 aircraft to flag carrier Air India, while Jet Airways (India) and its low-fare unit JetLite are expected to take delivery of about 35 planes by 2014.
Budget carrier SpiceJet said last month it doesn't plan to defer or cancel any orders and plans to take delivery of nine aircraft from Boeing by March 2012. It will then have a 30-plane strong fleet.
