Neos Air (NO, Milan Malpensa) is reportedly close to ordering "one or two B787s" as replacements for its long-haul fleet of two B767-300(ER)s. Sources in the Italian airline industry claim an official announcement for the order, which could also include options for an additional Dreamliner, could come as early as next week.

Delivery of the jets would likely be for the first half of 2018.
