PARIS/MEXICO CITY, June 18 (Reuters) - Airbus (AIR.PA) is in advanced talks over a major new order from Mexican ultra-low-cost carrier Viva Aerobus, industry sources said on Sunday.
"We currently have an ongoing order of A321neo with Airbus with deliveries until 2027," a spokesperson for Viva Aerobus said.
"Whilst Viva is a leading and growing ULCC in the Americas, we have not signed any new order with any (manufacturer)."
In 2013, it defected from Boeing to Airbus with an order worth up to $4 billion for 40 Airbus A320-family jets after a bitterly fought contest between the two plane giants.
