PARIS (Reuters) - Airbus is close to a potential $10 billion order for around 100 single-aisle A320neo-family aircraft from Hungary's Wizz Air , people familiar with the matter said.
The European manufacturer has been locked in a fierce battle over price with rival Boeing
Boeing was offering its recently launched 737 MAX 200, while AIRBUS (EAD.PA)was competing with its A320neo, according to the sources.
"Airbus made the airline an aggressive offer and told them it had to be done at the air show," a source familiar with the talks said on Thursday.
The order could provide a last-minute climax to an otherwise unusually sluggish home air show for Airbus.
Wizz Air and Airbus declined to comment.
Airbus was due to wrap up the air show with a news conference at 0530 ET.
