CHICAGO: United Airlines Holdings Inc is poised to buy more than 200 Airbus SE and Boeing Co jetliners, one of the largest purchases in its history, as the United States carrier revamps its single-aisle fleet with more efficient planes, according to people familiar with the plans.

While terms are still being finalised and the order size is in flux, the total deal has expanded from that first reported by Bloomberg News earlier this month, said the people, who asked not to be identified as the talks are confidential.
