<p>(Reuters) -Boeing is in advanced talks to sell around 80 wide-body 787 Dreamliner jets to Thai Airways after pulling ahead of Airbus in widely watched fleet renewal talks, industry sources said.</p>
<p>Reuters first reported in September that the carrier was boosting its requirements to as many as 80 wide-body jets and 15 smaller ones, sparking a contest between the 787 and A350 for one of the largest recent wide-body orders from Southeast Asia.</p>
<p>Boeing (NYSE:) and Airbus declined to comment. Thai Airways did not immediately reply to a request for comment.</p>
<p>The Thai national carrier is looking to make the most of a post-pandemic travel boom by bolstering regional routes, but there have been some concerns over the ability of planemakers Airbus and Boeing to ramp up output to meet surging demand.</p>
<p>Thai Airways began the restructuring of debt worth 400 billion baht ($11.17 billion) in 2021.</p>
