Engine maker CFM International is poised to announce one of the world’s largest jet engine orders with a deal for more than 600 engines from India’s IndiGoNSE 2.47 %, industry sources said.
The French-U.S. engine maker, owned by General Electric and France’s Safran, has been competing with the airline’s existing engine supplier, Pratt & Whitney, to provide the power for 280 twin-engine A320-family jetliners already on order from Airbus by the Delhi-based budget carrier.
