PARIS (Reuters) -Polish airline LOT is poised to announce on Monday an order for 40 Airbus A220 plus options for a further 44 aircraft, two people familiar with the matter said.
Finalisation of the deal at the Paris Airshow follows a lengthy battle between Airbus and Brazil’s EmbraerSA>, they said.
LOT and Airbus declined comment.
Reuters reported on Friday that Airbus was close to a landmark deal with the state-owned airline against the background of closer relations between France and Poland.
