"Airbus, the world� �s largest maker of commercial aircraft, won a
$3.7bn contract from Singapore Airlines for 20 new A350s on the last day of
deal making at the Paris Air Show, capping a week of gains against Boeing.
The Toulouse, France-based aircraft manufacturer swept a record 425 firm
orders valued at $61.7bn at the show, twice as much business as it gained
at last year� �s major industry event. Boeing won only one 50-plane order
for the midsize 787 Dreamliner, which competes with Airbus� �s new 300-seat
plane. � �A lot of the orders they booked were for the A350,� � said Zafar
Khan, London-based analyst with Societe Generale. � �When you launch an
aircraft, you tend to get lots of orders. Launch customers get very
attractive deals.� � "
