PARIS, June 4 (Reuters) - Qantas QAN.AX is in talks with planemakers over a possible deal to purchase around 20 Airbus AIR.PA or Boeing BA.N wide-body jets, industry sources said.
The Australian carrier is looking at purchasing more Boeing 787s or the main variant of Airbus A350, the sources said, asking not to be named because the talks are confidential.
Airbus and Boeing declined comment.
A Qantas spokesperson said: "We're in regular contact with aircraft manufacturers as part of our ongoing fleet planning and always update the market when we have something to announce. We currently have no updates or orders to announce."
