Boeing’s efforts to undermine sales of Airbus SE’s newest widebody aircraft — the A330neo — have moved beyond US borders and into India, a market seen by the European planemaker as crucial to extending sales for the plane into Asia.
In the latest setback to the Toulouse, France-based manufacturer, the Indian affiliate of Singapore Airlines opted for the 787, people familiar with the matter said, passing over the Airbus model, which along with the bigger A350 was designed to take on the Dreamliner. It follows similar lost campaigns at American Airlines Group and Hawaiian Holdings, both of which scrapped their orders for Airbus jets and picked the 787 instead.
