Airbus SAS is poised to win a $5 billion order as Aeroenlaces Nacionales SA, the Mexican airline known as VivaAerobus, expands and upgrades its fleet of aging Boeing Co. 737s, people familiar with the plan said.
The deal is for 40 narrow-body A320neos with new engines and 12 of the current A320 models, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. VivaAerobus, Mexico’s fourth-biggest carrier, may announce the transaction as soon as next week, the people said.
