American Airlines plans a record order of about 400 narrow-body jets split between Boeing Co. (BA) and Airbus SAS, giving the European planemaker a toehold at the U.S. carrier, four people familiar with the matter said.
Wow. AA's really pushing to retire those old gas-guzzling MD-80s huh?.
I wonder where they got the funding though? Last I heard, MD-80s weren't to be retired until the end of this decade. It's not like AA's doing too well in its own revenue stream.
