Chicago
BOEING Co is in talks with United Airlines and at least five other companies as the US planemaker tries to line up initial customers for its 737 Max 10 jetliner and gain ground on a fast-selling Airbus SE model, people familiar with the matter said.
The roster of potential buyers of the largest-ever 737, which is expected to launch this month, spans the globe. Initial sales prospects include Indonesia's Lion Mentari Airlines PT, the aircraft-leasing arm of China's development bank, Jet Airways India Ltd, SpiceJet Ltd and Copa Holdings SA, said the people, who asked not to be named because they weren't authorised to speak publicly about the negotiations.
