Romania’s Blue Air is in talks to buy Boeing Co.’s 737 Max, the latest generation of the U.S. company’s biggest-selling model, with an announcement possible at the Paris Air Show next week, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Bucharest-based airline is considering purchasing at least 20 planes, worth $1.84 billion at list prices, and chose the Boeing narrow-body over Airbus SE’s competing A320neo, according to one of the people. The order could be for as many as 50 aircraft, though it’s unclear how many of those may be options. Blue Air and Boeing declined to comment.
