PARIS: US planemaker Boeing on Friday said it had agreed to deals worth an overall $9.3 billion to sell 50 jets to Nigeria's Green Air and 30 to Saudi carrier flyadeal. As with the Saudi deal, the Nigerians are purchasing single-aisle 737 MAX planes. "While flyadeal has been operating new Airbus A320s, the airline says it has selected the 737 MAX for the future," Boeing said in a statement. If all the purchase options are exercised, the two deals unveiled Friday will be worth around $17.6 billion at list prices. Since launching the 737 MAX Boeing said it has received more than 4,800 orders from more than 100 customers worldwide.
