NEW DELHI: India will be the world’s fastest-growing aviation market over the next two decades, according to Boeing Co, which expects the South Asian nation to need 2,380 planes in that period at a value of US$330 billion.

Boeing also lost a US$25 billion, 210-aircraft order from Jet Airways India Ltd earlier this year after the carrier stopped flying.
