Airbus is said to be front-runner for US$6.6b Vistara order
Airbus is favoured to pull in an order from SIA affiliate Vistara for as many as 60 new-engine single-aisle airliners to gain a stronger foothold in the booming Indian market, according to people familiar with the negotiations. The airline is leaning toward buying the A320neo jets after a contest with Boeing’s 737 Max model. The carrier will make an announcement soon, one of the officials said. The A320neo has an average list price of about US$110m, valuing the deal at $6.6b before discounts. An order from Vistara is a consolidation for Airbus after the carrier is poised to give Boeing an order for widebody jets. IndiGo and SpiceJet are ordering hundreds of aircraft worth billions of dollars to tap an emerging middle-class flying for the first time, helping India become the world’s fastest-growing major aviation market. <br/>
