Boeing Co. may be poised to win the first order by a lessor for its 737 MAX jet as Steven Udvar-Hazy’s Air Lease Corp. considers whether to buy as many as 100 of the new single-aisle planes.
Performance guarantees and “economic parameters” are still under discussion, Udvar-Hazy, Air Lease’s founder and chief executive officer, said in an interview in Beijing at the annual meeting of the International Air Transport Association. Air Lease is studying a deal for 60 to 100 jets, he said.
