Japan Airlines is buying a total of 42 airplanes from Airbus and Boeing to be delivered over the next decade as it seeks to expand its full-service and low-cost carrier businesses and limit carbon emissions.

Japan Airlines said Thursday that it planned to acquire 10 787 jets from Boeing and 32 jets from Airbus comprising 21 A350-900 and 11 A321neo planes.

The Japanese airline didn't disclose the cost of the acquisition. Catalog prices of the 42 airplanes total 1.870 trillion yen ($12.36 billion), according to figures provided by the company.

The Japanese company said it expected a shortage of aircraft supply going forward and wanted to secure them early to stay competitive.
