世界商业报道[biz.icxo.com]消息：在巴黎航展前两日波音的成绩不如空客，但从预订出去的飞机来看，波音凭借其７８７型“梦想”飞机牢牢占据了中型飞机市场的优势地位，空客的同级产品Ａ３５０相形失色。加上在巴黎航展上的斩获，波音已经获得６３４份７８７型飞机确认订单，按照波音目录上提供的价格，总价值近千亿美元。
Airbus racked up more orders for its A350 XWB aircraft on Wednesday, striking back a day after U.S. rival Boeing Co. snagged the troubled jets original launch customer for its own 787 Dreamliner.
In announcements timed to make a splash at the weeklong Paris Air Show, Airbus signed up Russian airline Aeroflot in a firm deal for 22 of the revamped aircraft and received commitments from Indias Kingfisher Airlines and Libyas Afriqiyah Airways to buy another 56.
The deals agreed Wednesday add to a big order from Qatar Airways earlier in the week for 80 of the planes, taking the total firm orders for the plane so far to 127. However, despite the flurry of deals at the fair in Le Bourget, north of Paris, that is still far behind the 634 orders for Boeings Dreamliner.
Airbus has been fighting an uphill battle against the Dreamliner to win customers in the lucrative commercial medium-sized long-range jet market since it was forced into an expensive redesign of the aircraft by unhappy customers _ resulting in the extra-wide-body, or XWB, model.
The changes have pushed back the first delivery date of the plane until 2013, years behind the first delivery of Boeings 787 due in May 2008, which is now sold out for delivery until 2013.
The most vocal of the critics was Stephen Udvar-Hazy, chief executive of Los Angeles-based International Lease Finance Corp., the launch customer for the A350 — which on Tuesday signed a deal with Boeing for 50 more Dreamliners.
That deal made ILFC, the worlds largest plane leasing company, the biggest customer for the 787 — the first commercial jet made of light, sturdy, carbon-fiber composites instead of aluminum — with 74 firm orders.
ILFC originally ordered 16 A350s, but those are on hold following the redesign.
