Exclusive-Airbus to win bulk of major flydubai jet order, sources say

DUBAI (Reuters) -Airbus looks set to beat Boeing to the lion's share of a major jet order from flydubai at the Dubai Airshow, breaking its rival's grip on the fast-growing budget carrier for the first time, people familiar with the matter said on Sunday. The European planemaker was nearing a deal to sell roughly 100 A321neo jets to flydubai, which is also in talks for a smaller order of several dozen 737 MAX from Boeing, they said. Airbus' share could increase depending on ongoing discussions. Airbus declined to comment. Boeing and flydubai, which has 175 MAX in its fleet or on order, along with 30 larger Boeing 787s, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
