The airframer booked orders for another 42 aircraft in October, 30 of which were Airbus A320s for BOC Aviation.
Qatar Airways listed another pair of A320s while Hong Kong Airlines firmed its order for 10 A330s - which will include three A330-300s, according to Airbus' latest backlog figures.
The airframer also recorded the cancellation of a single A340-500 from a private customer.
