Turkish Airlines is in talks with Boeing Co. for the potential purchase of about 250 jetliners, months after locking down a major deal with European planemaker Airbus SE.

Turkey’s flag-carrier is discussing target prices, commercial terms and the cost of engines for between 150-175 Boeing 737 Max, with the rest of the order made up of the larger 787 Dreamliner model, Turkish Chairman Ahmet Bolat said in an interview.
