Airbus said close to US$7.5b A320neo deal from GoAir
Airbus Group is in discussions with Go Airlines India about the purchase of about 70 A320neo planes worth around US$7.5b at list prices, according to people familiar with the situation. An announcement could come as early as this week at the Farnborough Air Show, though talks may extend further into the year, said the people. GoAir is one of only three carriers that have begun operating the revamped Neo version of Airbus’s single-aisle jet, so that a follow-on order would provide a vote of confidence in a model that’s been dogged by issues with its Pratt & Whitney turbines since last year. The carrier already has a contract for 72 A320neos, 2 of which have been delivered, after announcing a deal for the jets in 2011. The new batch would again use Pratt engines. <br/>
