Malaysia-based low-cost airline AirAsia is negotiating an order of between 150 and 175 A320neo planes from Airbus.
The total amount of the order would be between US$13.6 billion and $15.9 billion, according to official prices. If both parties reach an agreement, the order might be announced in the Bourget aviation fair due to start June 20, the newspaper said.
AirAsia already operates about 100 Airbus jets, of which 90 are the A320, the newspaper said.
The A320neo is a planned fuel-efficient upgrade of Airbus's A320 medium hauler.
