Boeing Co. (BA) is pricing its 737 Max plane aggressively to compete for market share with the Airbus A320neo, Airbus SAS Chief Executive Officer Fabrice Bregier was quoted as saying by Welt am Sonntag.

Chicago-based Boeing may book more orders than Airbus this year after pulling ahead of the Toulouse, France-based European maker at the Farnborough air show in England this month, the German newspaper cited Bregier as saying in an interview today.
