China is buying seventy Boeing 737 aircraft - a $4bn (£2.32bn) deal that is said to be the largest in Chinese aviation history.

And, as the Dubai Air Show opened on Sunday, Emirates ordered forty-two 777 jets in a deal worth $9.7bn (£5.64bn).

The deal marks a major boost for Boeing in the Middle East, where it is competing fiercely with Airbus.

Boeing's arch-rival responded with the signing of a $2.9bn contract with Kuwaiti leasing firm Alafco for 12 A350 aircraft.

Kuwaiti no-frills carrier Jazeera Airways also announced it had signed up to buy six Airbus A320s.
