Brazil´s largest domestic airline, TAM SA, is looking to place 20 more orders for aircraft with Airbus, local financial daily Valor Economico reported earlier this week.
The company is in "final negotiations" to buy 20 of Airbus´ A320 aircraft, the newspaper said, quoting TAM President Marco Antonio Bologna.
The 20 planes are currently options from a previous agreement signed in July 2004, under which TAM placed firm orders for 10 A320s. Those 10 aircraft are scheduled to start arriving this year, with deliveries continuing over the next four years.
Local press have previously reported that TAM plans to use the larger A320 aircraft to ramp up its international operations.
