Saab AB, which won a tentative Gripen jet fighter order with Switzerland, said final negotiations may take all year and that it’s “natural” that rival Dassault Aviation SA is still fighting for a deal.
“It’s not surprising they haven’t given up,” Erik Magni, a Saab spokesman, said today by phone. It’s “part of the game” that Dassault is still competing, he said.
