Multibillion-Dollar Order Landed by Airbus

From Bloomberg News

Airbus extended its sales lead over rival Boeing Co. after Qatar Airways ordered as many as 32 jetliners worth $5.1 billion.

It was the second Middle East carrier this week to place a multibillion-dollar order with the Toulouse, France-based aircraft manufacturer.

Airbus has orders for 215 planes so far this year compared with 42 for Boeing, which announced orders for only four planes at the show.
