Airbus SAS won a tentative $2.8 billion order from Hawaiian Airlines for A321neos that can fly from the islands to the western U.S. coast, dislodging Boeing Co. as the carrier’s only supplier for single-aisle jets.
Completing the order depends on reaching an agreement with pilots and flight attendants for operation of the new aircraft type, Honolulu-based Hawaiian Holdings Inc. said in a statement today. The catalog value for the order includes 16 jetliners from 2017 to 2020 and rights to purchase as many as nine more.
