Boeing said close to US$10.1b order from SpiceJet
SpiceJet is poised to order at least 92 Boeing 737 jetliners as the carrier plots rapid expansion. The transaction, which would more than double SpiceJet’s 49-plane fleet, may be closed within weeks after lengthy talks that pitted Boeing against rival Airbus, people with direct knowledge of the decision said. The deal includes firm orders for at least 50 of Boeing’s 737 Max, and renegotiated terms for 42 of the single-aisle jets that SpiceJet originally ordered in 2014, said the people. The 92 Max jets would be valued at about US$10.1b at current list prices. The order would be a record for SpiceJet, which was forced to shut down operations for a day 2 years ago after it ran out of money, prompting co-founder Ajay Singh to bail out the carrier. <br/>
