CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) – American Airlines is ordering 47 new Boeing jets with a combined list price of $12.3 billion to replace some of its oldest planes.
Terms are not being disclosed.
Airlines routinely get big discounts on planes.
American is also canceling an order with Boeing’s European rival, Airbus, that was made by US Airways before it merged with American, and delaying delivery of 40 other Boeing planes.
American announced the moves Friday.
