During a visit by Frances trade minister Nicole Bricq, the governments of Turkey and France will discuss a possible order for 150 Airbus passenger jets, AFP reported, citing a statement by the French ministry. On-going talks between Turkish Airlines (THY) and Airbus centre on the acquisition of almost 150 aircraft, notably the A380 super jumbo jet, according to the statement quoted by AFP.
