Thai Airways International Plc is in talks with planemakers to add some 20 twin-aisle passenger jets, according to people familiar with the matter, as the beleaguered carrier seeks to refresh its fleet amid a travel rebound in Southeast Asia.
Thai Airways held advanced discussions with Boeing Co recently about purchasing its 787-9 wide-body passenger jets, the people said, asking not to be identified because the details are confidential. The state-owned carrier may also be speaking to Airbus SE, as airlines typically speak to both planemakers when in discussions about new acquisitions.
