Airbus SAS and Boeing Co. finished the Dubai Air Show neck and neck on contracts, in an event dominated by Boeing’s biggest-ever order and a public tirade against Airbus by one of its most important customers.
Boeing left with an order from Emirates for 50 777-300ERs valued at $18 billion at list price and pulled in another for two 777 freighters from Qatar Airways Ltd. worth $560 million. Airbus’s $17.6 billion order tally relied almost entirely on the single-aisle A320neo, the industry’s fastest-selling model.
