DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Airbus has raked in more orders at the Dubai Air Show, reaching one valued over $3.3 billion to sell 28 new aircraft to Kuwait’s Jazeera Airways. The European plane maker’s order announced at the aviation show on Tuesday includes 20 A320neos and eight A321neos. On the first two days, Airbus also made blockbuster sales announcements. The expo pits France-based Airbus and its American rival Boeing, the two manufacturers at the top of the supply chain, against each other in the crucial Mideast market filled with long-haul carriers connecting East and West.
