Aircraft manufacturer Boeing is on the verge of securing what could rank among its most significant sales agreements ever, according to a Bloomberg News report released Friday. Sources with knowledge of the negotiations indicate the deal involves approximately 500 Boeing 737 Max aircraft.
The massive purchase agreement is expected to be revealed during President Donald Trump’s upcoming state visit to Beijing, marking his first official trip to China since 2017. The timing of the announcement appears coordinated with the high-profile diplomatic meeting between the two world leaders.
Industry insiders familiar with the negotiations provided details to Bloomberg News about the potential agreement, though specific financial terms were not disclosed in the March 6 report.
