TOKYO, April 24 (Reuters) - Japan Airlines ( JPNRF ) will

continue using both Airbus and Boeing ( BA ) aircraft,

President Mitsuko Tottori said on Wednesday.

Tottori told reporters that JAL does not plan to depend only

on Airbus aircraft even after it announced a plan last month to

buy 21 wide-body A350-900 and 11 A321neo narrow-body jets from

Airbus.

Tottori's comments came as U.S. planemaker Boeing ( BA ) faces

growing concerns over its product safety following a January

mid-air loss of a panel on a near-new its 737 MAX 9.
