EasyJet says CFM order valued at $3.3 billion

(Reuters) - British low-cost airline easyJet Plc said its order to CFM International SA for 270 engines was valued at about $3.3 billion (1.93 billion pounds) at list price by the engine maker.

EasyJet had earlier said it had negotiated a reduced price with CFM, but that the details were confidential.

CFM, a joint venture between Safran SA and General Electric Co, will provide the engines for easyJet's order of 35 Airbus A320 aircraft and 100 Airbus A320neo aircraft.

CFM's rivals include Pratt & Whitney, a division of United Technologies Corp.
