KEY POINTS:
British low-cost airline easyJet said yesterday it had reached agreement with European planemaker Airbus to exercise options for 35 Airbus A319 aircraft for delivery during 2011 and 2012.
Industry sources had said last week that the order for the single-aisle aircraft was worth about US$2.4 billion ($3.2 billion) at list prices, though easyJet said yesterday the deal was subject to substantial price concessions.
