TOKYO (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.
