I’d argue the 18,000 B-24s ordered for WW2 would be a bigger contract.

Indian "value" airlines have a long history of making huge airplane deals then going bankrupt.

India's Go First filed for bankruptcy in May of this year after placing an order for 54 aircraft in 2021.

Airbus, a European aerospace company, announced a deal Monday to sell 500 single-aisle planes to IndiGo, India’s largest airline, in what is now the biggest plane deal in history.

Well, as long as they aren't built with a bomb bay.

Something tells me that Airbus doesn’t do all of that affirmative action/DEI hiring. Boeing on the other hand...

“bringing the total number of Airbus aircraft IndiGo has ordered to 1,330”

You would think any airline would diversify their fleet in case a plane has an accident that forces every similar plane to be grounded... like the 737max.
