Airbus is closing in on a ​widebody order from Scandinavia's biggest airline, ‌SAS AB, which includes a mix of the Airbus A330neo and the more advanced A350, ​with about 15 to 20 aircraft ​under consideration, Bloomberg News reported on ⁠Saturday.

The carrier is set to finalise ​the deal in the coming weeks and will ​receive the aircraft early in the next decade. The report added, citing people familiar with the ​matter.

Airbus and SAS AB did not ​immediately respond to a request for comment. Reuters could ‌not ⁠verify the report.

The carrier had also been in discussions with Boeing about a large order of widebody jets but decided to ​choose the ​European ⁠planemaker to maintain fleet commonality and keep down costs, the report ​added.

SAS AB was one of ​the ⁠first airlines in March to cut a limited number of flights because of the "sharp and ⁠sudden ​increase" in fuel prices ​triggered by the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.
