Boeing Co has secured a deal worth at least $2.5 billion at list prices to sell 21 of its 737 MAX jets to Japan Airlines Co (JAL) , industry sources said.
Boeing declined comment. A spokesperson for JAL reiterated it was "considering this matter," but declined further comment.

has made inroads over the last decade - most visibly through a 2013 order by JAL for widebody A350 jets, made as Boeing struggled to fix a battery problem with its 787 Dreamliner. With Airbus single-aisle A320s in use by ANA's Peach unit and JAL's Jetstar Japan, Boeing strove to ensure that the MAX secured a foothold in the mainline fleet of Japan's national carrier.
