JET Airways India Ltd, the country's biggest full-service carrier, is in talks to buy 50 narrowbody jets on top of a pending order for Boeing Co 737 Max aircraft, a person with direct knowledge of the plan said.

The most likely model the airline is considering is the 737 Max, though it is also looking at Airbus SE's A321neo jets as well as the 737 Max 10, a stretched version that Boeing may introduce in Paris this month, the person said, asking not to be identified as the talks are confidential.
