Bloomberg reported Boeing may win the first order by a lessor for its 737 MAX jet as Steven Udvar- Hazy’s Air Lease Corp. is studying a deal to buy 60 to 100 of the jets.
According to the Bloomberg report, Air Lease signed a firm order this month for 36 Airbus SAS A320Neos, the plane that competes with the MAX. A MAX order would provide Udvar-Hazy with the two jets that will be most widely introduced into fleets from 2015.
