ISTANBUL, April 29 (Reuters) - Turkish Airlines

Chairman Ahmet Bolat said on Monday that the company

is negotiating with both Airbus and Boeing ( BA )

regarding the 235 aircraft that it plans to purchase under its

expansion plans.

Speaking at an event with Airbus, Bolat said his company was

waiting for problems faced by Boeing ( BA ) to end, so was not in a

hurry to reach a decision on its fleet plan, adding that Turkish

Airlines had always followed a balanced policy regarding Airbus

and Boeing ( BA ).
