Australian budget carrier Virgin Blue said on Thursday it may replace some of its existing planes with new aircraft and was in talks with several suppliers including Brazil's Embraer.

"We are in the market for planes," Virgin Blue's chief executive Brett Godfrey told reporters on the sidelines of a conference in Singapore.

"We've got a whole bunch of airplanes coming out of lease over the next 2-3 years and we are looking to take some more, including from Embraer," he said.
