Boeing (BA) Loses Large Widebody Order to Airbus (DAL)

Boeing (NYSE: BA) is said to have lost out to rival Airbus on a large Delta (NYSE: DAL) order.

According to the Seattle Times, Airbus may have landed an order from Delta Air Lines for 50 widebody jets. The order would contain a mix of 25 Airbus A350-900s and 25 A330-900neos.

Boeing was trying to sell a mix of 777-300ERs and 787-9s.

While the list price is $14.3 billion, discounts would bring the order down to about $6.2 billion.

Delta will expect the A350s in 2017 and the A330s two-years later.

Shares of Boeing are lower in early trading Thursday.
