NEW DELHI/PARIS, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Air India is in talks with Airbus AIR.PA and Boeing BA.N to add more wide-body jets as it expands planned purchases to up to 300 aircraft, people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday, marking an acceleration of its turnaround under the Tata Group.

The negotiations now include as many as 80 to 100 wide-body jets, the sources said, on top of previously reported talks for 200 narrow-body jets and 25-30 wide-body aircraft.

Airbus said it does "not comment on confidential discussions, which may or may not be happening with customers." Air India and Boeing did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
