LE BOURGET, France–Airbus unveiled more than $40 billion (U.S.) of orders or pledges yesterday, with a third of the business going to its A350 XWB program, giving it a much-needed lift in its battle against Boeing Co.
Boosted by fast-growing hubs in the Middle East, the European group used the opening day of the Paris air show to unveil a firmed-up $17 billion sale to Qatar Airways and to show it had beaten off a Boeing challenge to win a $10 billion order from US Airways.
Including orders from those two airlines and Kuwaiti aircraft financing company Alafco, Airbus clinched deals for a total of 114 of the A350 XWB – a plane vital to its hopes of catching up with Boeing and its hot-selling 787.
Qatar ordered 80 of the A350 XWB and added three of the A380 superjumbos to its shopping list, as well. Qatar will be the first airline to get the A350 in 2013, Airbus President Louis Gallois said.
Rolls-Royce, the only manufacturer planning to supply an engine for the A350, said the Qatar order for 20 A350-800s, 40 A350-900s and 20 A350-1000s would mean sales of engines and support worth $5.6 billion at list prices, its biggest-ever civil engine deal.
Dubai-based Emirates signed a tentative deal for eight more of the hefty A380, a deal worth more than $3 billion that will take its total to 56 of the towering double-deckers.
Sydney, daily, when? ;)
