DUBAI, June 3 (Reuters) - Qatar Airways is in talks with

plane makers Airbus and Boeing ( BA ) for a major

wide-body order, its chief executive said on Monday.

CEO Badr Mohammed Al Meer told reporters a report that the

airline was in talks with Airbus to order A350 and Boeing 777X

wide-body jets was largely correct.

Bloomberg News reported on Sunday that the airline was in

discussions to buy some 200 aircraft split between Airbus and

Boeing ( BA ). Al Meer confirmed talks for a three-digit order but said

the number of jets being mentioned was off by around 30%. He

declined to say if it was higher or lower than the reported

figure.
