Boeing, "the No. 2 jetliner maker"?
Reuters
Boeing says not offering jets to Spirit Airlines
Friday February 13, 6:37 pm ET
SEATTLE, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Boeing Co., the No. 2 jetliner maker, said on Friday it was not offering aircraft to privately held Spirit Airlines, despite media reports that the carrier was shopping for narrow-body jets.
"We do not currently have an offer on the table at Spirit and at present we do not have plans to make one," said Boeing spokesman Nicolaas Groeneveld-Meijer.
News reports have said Ft. Lauderdale, Florida-based Spirit was negotiating an equity sale to Los Angeles investment firm Oaktree Capital Management, LLC (News - Websites) , worth more than $100 million and then might buy jets from Boeing or rival Airbus SAS.
Both Spirit and Oaktree have declined to comment.
