FARNBOROUGH, England (Reuters) – Boeing Co is nearing a deal to sell a small number of 787 jets to aircraft lessor AerCap Holdings that could be announced as soon as Tuesday at the Farnborough Airshow, a source told Reuters.
The Wall Street Journal reported the potential deal for a “handful” of planes earlier. The source cautioned that the deal could still fall apart and the precise number of planes could not be determined.
AerCap did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Boeing did not comment.
