WASHINGTON (Reuters) – United Airlines plans to announce a major Boeing 787 Dreamliner order next week, two sources briefed on the matter told Reuters.

United late on Thursday invited reporters to a “historic announcement” on Tuesday at the Boeing South Carolina factory that builds the 787 at an event that will feature the airline’s chief executive, Scott Kirby, and Boeing Commercial Airlines CEO Stan Deal. Reuters reported last week that Boeing and United were close to reaching a deal.
