Major Boeing Order in Works: The Seattle-based aircraft maker is expected to announce today that it has won a major jetliner order from International Lease Finance Corp., a company spokesperson said. International Lease, a Beverly Hills-based unit of American International Group Inc. and the jet-leasing market leader, has been in negotiations with Boeing Co. since last fall. Industry analysts expect the company to order 40 to 50 jets, mostly newer-model 737s. The spokesperson wouldn’t put a value on the order, but analysts expect it to be at least $1.2 billion.
