DUBAI (Reuters) - Airbus (PA:AIR) is putting the finishing touches to a deal with Vietnam's VietJet for a top-up order of A320-family jets, industry sources said.
An announcement of the deal, which some industry sources estimate to cover 10-20 aircraft, is expected at the Dubai Airshow later on Tuesday.
Airbus declined comment.
Both Airbus and Boeing (N:BA) have seen a sharp drop in fresh orders this week compared to the last such event in 2013, which saw record demand for new jets from Gulf carriers.
