Southwest Nears Deal to Purchase Boeing Jets - KOMPAS.com: "KOMPAS.com - Southwest Airlines Co. is nearing a preliminary deal to order more than 100 of Boeing Co.'s planned 737 Max jetliners, according to people familiar with the matter.
Boeing and Southwest, one of the biggest operators of Boeing's workhorse single-aisle planes, could announce the planned order in the coming weeks, although details are still being worked out, the people said.
The commitment by Southwest would mark the latest boost to Boeing's sales prospects for the 737 Max, a revamped version of its top-selling plane that will carry new, advanced engines. Boeing plans to deliver the first 737 Max in 2017 -- two years behind a competing Airbus jet called the A320neo that has garnered more than 1,400 firm orders and commitments. "
