Boeing near US$5b in Max 10 deals with Asian airlines

Boeing is closing in on about US$5b in orders from 2 Asian carriers for its longest-ever 737, people familiar with the matter said. The planemaker is discussing a deal with SpiceJet for about 20 of the 737 Max 10 aircraft, said the people. Lion Mentari Airlines is studying an order for at least 20 planes and perhaps as many as 50 from a combination of commitments and conversions of existing orders for smaller 737 Max jets, the people said. The deals may be announced as early as next week, when Boeing is likely to unveil plans for the Max 10 at the Paris Air Show. Negotiations haven’t been finalised, and agreements involving Boeing, SpiceJet and Lion could be delayed or fall apart, the people said. The 737 Max 10 is expected to sell for a little more than the shorter Max 9, which has a list price of $119.2m before discounts. <br/>
