Citing people familiar with the matter, the WSJ said a deal between Boeing and United Airlines, which would be worth billions of dollars in revenue for Boeing, could be completed this month. Airbus competed for the deal, and if an agreement with Boeing is completed, it will mark a victory for the plane maker over European rival Airbus. They added that United has privately said it is preparing to order around 100 planes to replace its wide-body jets which are growing old. While WSJ sources told them it wasn't clear how many Dreamliners United would order.
