Boeing Co. is poised to win an order for 100 737 narrow-body aircraft from General Electric Co.’s jet-leasing unit, a boost in the U.S. company’s competition with Airbus SAS, two people with knowledge of the transaction said.
GE Capital Aviation Services’ purchase includes 75 upgraded 737 MAX planes, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they aren’t authorized to discuss the deal. The list value would be $9.25 billion based on prices for the 737-800, the current jet’s most-popular model, and its MAX equivalent.
