MEXICO CITY, July 5 (Reuters) - Mexican airline Viva Aerobus has signed a memorandum of understanding to purchase 90 Airbus A321neo aircraft, the carrier said on Wednesday, in a deal likely worth several billion dollars.
The companies did not name a price for the aircraft, and Airbus no longer publishes catalog prices.
The agreement brings Viva's order book up to 170 Airbus aircraft, the carrier said in a statement, all part of the A320 family.
In April, Viva signed an agreement with SAF producer Neste (NESTE.HE) to purchase 1 million liters of the fuel.
Viva said the aircraft order would drive both domestic and international growth plans, taking into account that Mexico is expected to recover a U.S. air safety rating in coming months.
