Big Jetliner Orders Seen from Leasing Firm: The European airplane consortium Airbus Industrie is expected next week to announce a $900-million sale of about 15 new Airbus jets to International Lease Finance Corp., a major aircraft lessor based in Beverly Hills. ILFC is also expected to order four 767 airliners from Boeing Co., valued at about $360 million. ILFC executives were traveling to a British air show--where those orders and several others are expected to be announced--and were unavailable for comment. Jetliner orders have been weak for several years, but Boeing said it expects the market to rebound in 1996-97.
