It also ordered the national flag carrier to reach a contract to buy 10 competing Airbus A350-900XWB passenger jets and 20 single-aisle A321 jets before Dec. 21, the government said in a statement.

The state-run airline signed draft agreements with the planemakers on the purchases earlier this month.
