PARIS, France (Reuters) -- European planemaker Airbus landed $17 billion in orders from Qatar Airways at the start of the Paris air show on Monday including a new order for three A380 superjumbos.
The deals include confirmation of a previously announced order for 80 new Airbus A350 XWB models due from 2013, worth $16 billion at list prices, and three additional A380s worth almost $1 billion in total.
Qatar had already ordered 2 of the A380 superjumbo aircraft with options for another two.
