PARIS, June 17 (Reuters) – Airbus is set to win a deal to sell jets worth around $4.5 billion at list price to Philippines airline Cebu Air after a face-off with rival Boeing, industry sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal involves 16 A330neo wide-body jets and around 10 of the newly launched A321XLR extended-range narrow-body aircraft, the sources said, asking not to be identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with other aircraft and options the deal could involve as many as 40 aircraft, one of the sources added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbus declined comment. Cebu officials could not be reached for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal follows a fight for business at the Philippines budget airline as Airbus seeks a new foothold for its A330neo in the face of heavy competition from Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The carrier had at one point been seen as likely to proceed with a Boeing 787 order, prompting Airbus to rescue the deal .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cebu Air plans to expand its fleet with new aircraft that burn less fuel, CEO Lance Gokongwei said last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asian carriers are looking to renew their long-haul fleets as passenger demand remains robust despite a decline in cargo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
