The company run by Steven Udvar-Hazy, considered a founder of the aircraft leasing industry, has 50 fuel-saving A320neo aircraft on order or in the pipeline from Europe's Airbus (EAD.PA) and is expected to order at least as many of the competing 737 MAX model from rival Boeing, the sources said.

California-based ALC declined to comment.

"We have no comment on (this) speculation. If any newsworthy event takes place we will let you know immediately. There is no news at this time," an ALC spokeswoman said by email.

NYSE could not immediately be reached for comment.
