Airbus order less than expected
From Times Wire Services
Airbus, the world’s biggest aircraft maker, got an order from Los Angeles-based International Lease Finance Corp. for 20 A350 wide-body jets, fewer than analysts had expected and smaller than the company’s contract for Boeing Co.’s 787.
The deal is valued at about $4 billion at list prices.
ILFC, the world’s largest aircraft purchaser and the biggest customer of France’s Airbus, is buying 74 Dreamliners.
