SEOUL The European Airbus is about to conclude an agreement on the sale of A330neo jetliners to Virgin Atlantic, said Sunday people close to the case.
The UK-based airline has evaluated the improved A330 over the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Industry sources said the airline was looking for about 6 to 10 planes. The A330neo sells for $ 296 million at list prices, but airlines generally benefit from significant discounts.
Airbus declined to comment. Virgin Atlantic was not immediately available for comment.
