PARIS, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Hungary's Wizz Air is in
negotiations with European planemaker Airbus over the
purchase of at least 100 more narrowbody jets, industry sources
said on Thursday.
Talks began several months ago and surfaced as Wizz Air
emerged as a suitor for rival easyJet and as Europe's
largest budget carrier, Ryanair, remained deadlocked
with Boeing over a major jet purchase.
Wizz Air, which has already ordered a total of 388 Airbus
jets, declined to comment.
A spokesman for Airbus said it always talks to customers
about their needs but never comments on such discussions.
