July 7 (Reuters) - U.S. private equity firm 777 Partners has said it is in talks with Boeing Co (BA.N) and Franco-Italian turboprop maker ATR over a new jet order, as it looks to enter more markets amid a boom in air travel. The talks come amid a rush for planes by airlines eager to tap into a greater-than-expected recovery in air travel. Earlier this year, Air India placed an order for 470 jets with Boeing and Airbus SE (AIR.PA) - which was later eclipsed by rival IndiGo's order for 500 Airbus planes. 777's business model involves buying jets and leasing them to airlines which it backs, such as Canadian low-cost carrier Flair Airlines and Australian airline Bonza.

In March, lessor Airborne confiscated four of Flair Airlines' planes because of late payments. A low-cost Canadian upstart airline had four of its planes repossessed by New York-based aircraft lessor Airborne Capital on March 11, forcing the carrier to cancel multiple flights and leaving a trail of disgruntled passengers behind. Flair Airlines CEO Stephen Jones blamed "behind the scenes" scheming between the airline's competitors and Airborne Capital for the repossession of four of Flair's Boeing 737 planes. It's not the first time Flair has clashed with other Canadian airlines. US investment firm 777 Partners owns a 25% stake in Flair Airlines, which was cause for concern for the CTA.
