October figures are in 4 A350-900: Singapore Airlines 1 A321neo: Aviation Capital Group 30 A330-300: China Aviation Supplies Holding Company No Cancellations. Also 6 A359s were converted to A35Ks from an undisclosed customer. Let the speculation begin  |

Funny how they booked the latest Chinese order for 30 A330s and not the first order for 45 A330s. The 100 A320s are also missing.

Let the speculation begin If I'm to take a wild guess, I would say it is probably a customer who already has both versions of A350s on order or a customer with a low number of A359s on order. My list of candidates: Etihad Qatar Iberia One of the lessors |

Probably one (or more) A330 purchase contract(s) was (were) recently signed between Airbus and one (or more) airlines, allowing the government to firm the options in its own contract. As to why the 45 firm orders were not booked by Airbus yet, it might be because some technical discussions are still going on, or for some arcane bureaucratic reason. |

Still it appears to be quiet in terms of orders (in general) at the Dubai air show. At least so far.

And there has been an order bonanza last couple of years off course. |
