Vistara is poised to place an order for six Boeing 787 planes, with an option to buy four more. It follows similar lost campaigns at American Airlines Group Inc. and Hawaiian Holdings Inc., both of which scrapped their orders for Airbus jets and picked the 787 instead. “And I can tell you we are as well.”Airbus Chief Executive Officer Tom Enders said in April that the Boeing sales team is the most “aggressive” in 20 years. American Airlines switched camp this April and ordered 47 Dreamliners in a $12.3 billion deal at listed prices. The change in tax structure is an opportunity for the American planemaker, and that provides it a “tax equalization” against its rivals, he said.
