Japan Airlines may buy 20 Airbus A350 jets -Nikkei Mar 24th 2013, 03:20 TOKYO, March 24 | Sat Mar 23, 2013 11:20pm EDT TOKYO, March 24 (Reuters) - Japan Airlines Co may buy about 20 A350 jets from Airbus for around 400 billion yen ($4.23 billion), the Nikkei daily reported on Sunday, a move that would reduce its reliance on Boeing. The Japanese carrier is considering using A350-1000 jets on flights to Europe and the United States to replace its Boeing 777 jets, and is set to make a final decision on the purchase by around June, the newspaper said, without citing sources. Japan Airlines and Airbus could not be immediately reached for comment. The deal for the 350-seater planes would be the first with the European aircraft maker and includes a simulation facility for pilot training. Japan Airlines is set to retire its lone McDonnell Douglas MD-90 jet after a final flight on March 30, leaving it with a fleet of more than 100 aircraft, all manufactured by Boeing, the report said. The carrier's seven Boeing 787 Dreamliner jets have been grounded since mid-January after problems with its lithium-ion battery.
