(Boursier.com) — United Airlines is reportedly set to acquire at least three dozen Airbus A321neo aircraft from aircraft lessors. The American company has been seeking for several weeks to fill the gap created by delayed orders for the Boeing 737 MAX 10. According to ‘Bloomberg’ sources, the carrier is in final negotiations for planes to be delivered between 2025 and 2027. The agency first reported in January that Airbus was looking for A321 production slots that it could offer to United. Delays in certification of the 737 Max 10 have jeopardized growth plans for United, which was expected to be the first major customer of the larger 737 variant.
