Nov. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Airbus SAS, the world's largest manufacturer of commercial planes, won an order from Emirates for aircraft valued at as much as $31 billion, including 70 A350 airliners and 11 double-decker A380s.

Emirates, the biggest Arab airline, placed a firm order for 70 A350s and took options for 50 more, Chairman Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum said today at the Dubai Air Show.

The deal is a boost for the 300-seat Airbus A350, the planemaker's challenger to Boeing Co.'s 787, which is cheaper and due to enter service five years ahead of the Airbus model. The A380 order adds to the Dubai-owned carrier's backlog of 47, the largest for the superjumbo pla etc etc
