American Airlines orders 460 narrowbody aircraft


    CHICAGO (Reuters) - AMR Corp ordered 460 narrowbody, single-aisle aircraft from the Boeing Co 737 and Airbus A320 families beginning in 2013 through 2022, the parent of American Airlines said on Wednesday.

    It plans to buy 200 Boeing 737s, with options for another 100 737s. It also plans to buy 260 Airbus A320s and will have 365 options and purchase rights for additional aircraft.

    The third-largest U.S. airline said it would receive about $13 billion in financing provided by the manufacturers through lease transactions.
