Airbus SE managed a comeback on the second day of the Dubai Air Show, reeling in deals with local carriers Etihad Airways and Flydubai and an accord for its A350 widebody model from Air Europa.

The agreements injected fresh momentum back into Airbus after Boeing Co. dominated the first day with a huge order for 65 777X aircraft valued at $38 billion from Emirates.
