PARIS, June 16 (Reuters) - Polish airline LOT is poised
to announce on Monday an order for 40 Airbus A220 plus
options for a further 44 aircraft, two people familiar with the
matter said.
Finalisation of the deal at the Paris Airshow follows a
lengthy battle between Airbus and Brazil's Embraer SA ( ERJ )>,
they said.
LOT and Airbus declined comment. Reuters reported on Friday
that Airbus was close to a landmark deal with the state-owned
airline against the background of closer relations between
France and Poland.
