The deal for a top-up order of around a dozen aircraft could be signed at next week’s Farnborough Airshow where the U.S. carrier is also widely expected to finalize an order for at least 100 Boeing 737 MAX airliners, Reuters reported.
The airline has ordered 95 Canadian-designed A220s of which it has taken delivery of 56, according to end-June Airbus data.
