The order will likely be a combination of smaller MAX 8 jets and some of Boeing (NYSE:BA)’s larger MAX 10 planes, the report said.

JAL was also in talks with Airbus SE (OTC:EADSY), but is considering going with Boeing, the report said, adding that the deal may close by the end of March.

A JAL spokesperson said they were still negotiating the deal and refused to provide more details.

Boeing did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
