The order for Airbus contains 2 different orders:

You can add to that:

60 A320 for GECAS, 2 A320 for Nouvelair, 7 A320 and 12 A350XWB for ALAFCO.

That's one hell of a first day for Airbus!

Stock prices rise on higher earnings (not sales) expectations. The flat price of the Airbus stock indicates that investors believe that the contract prices are rock bottom and only small (or no) profits are expected.

Anyway, these initial orders are promising for Airbus and reflect airline comfort with the proposed composite-over-aluminum frame construction.

and here is the answer to the question "who will make all these airplanes?"
http://business.guardian.co.uk/story/0,,2106143,00.html
Yep, the Chinese.

Yep, the Chinese.

Maybe actual facts could help the forum more?

The Chinese are bidding for some supplier plants of Airbus. IF they would win the bidding (wich is far from certain), they would simply own or co-own European factories with European workers working in them. How does that ad up to 'Chinese making all these airplanes'?
Boeing has outsourced almost every part of the making proces to different companies around the world. And it has brought them big succes, wouldn't you say?

In the future, you might actually try reading articles before posting them... Just a thought.

And a recommitment to the A380 orders, wich is very good news for the A380.
I find it very strange though that less then a month ago they were talking about cancelling the 330 MOU and rethinking the A380 order.
Seems ordering airplanes & playing poker have more in common than one might suspect
