Korean Air Lines Co is poised to order 30 widebody Boeing 787 aircraft, according to people familiar with the matter, in a deal that would be the first for the US planemaker at the Paris Air Show after rival Airbus SE clinched a series of sales.
The deal was expected to be announced as soon as Tuesday, said the people, who asked not to be named because the details aren’t public. If it’s split evenly between 787-9 and 787-10 versions of the plane, it would be worth about $9.4 billion.
The Seoul-based airline has said it’s expanding its fleet and replacing aging jets as demand is expected to grow from a
joint venture with Delta Air Lines Inc.
