Oct 23 (Reuters)U.S. price range service Spirit Airways SAVE.N is near agreeing a provisional deal to order as many as 100 single-aisle plane price as much as $12 billion at current catalogue costs from Airbus AIR.PA, business sources mentioned.

Such a deal could be the primary for the European planemaker since the USA imposed 10% tariffs on a few of the planes it gives to U.S. carriers final week, a part of a long-running transatlantic commerce dispute over plane subsidies.

Airbus declined to remark. Spirit, which stories earnings in a while Wednesday, didn’t reply to a request for remark.

A deal of that dimension could be price as much as $12 billion at the latest 2018 Airbus record costs, however business sources say such offers usually contain reductions of at the least 50%.

In August, the Miramar, Florida-based airline mentioned it was each the Airbus single-aisle A321neo jet or a Boeing BA.N
