(Reuters) – Boeing is exploring a possible $6 billion sale of its Jeppesen navigation unit, Bloomberg News reported on Friday.
The planemaker is working with an adviser on the potential sale of the unit, which provides interactive flight plans, the report said.
Suitors are already circling Jeppesen, which could attract sizable interest from private equity firms as well as other companies and could fetch more than $6 billion, the report said.
Boeing did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Its shares were up 0.3% in afternoon trading.
