- Airbus is set to break its record for the most aircraft orders, per Reuters.
- It's secured big deals with Turkish Airlines and easyJet in recent days.
Airbus is set to break the record for the most planes sold in a year in 2023, Reuters reported.
The European plane manufacturer has announced three considerable deals in recent days.
Last Friday, Turkish Airlines confirmed an order for 220 Airbus jets, including 150 of the A321neo.
Then on Tuesday, the British budget airline easyJet announced it was ordering 157 A320neo aircraft. German flag carrier Lufthansa also ordered 40 A220s.
Put together, that means Airbus is now set to have an orders total above the previous record set in 2014, of around 1,800, per Reuters.
However, the company won't release the official figures until January.
According to Bloomberg, Airbus has received orders for more than 2,000 aircraft so far this year — compared to Boeing's 1,200.
"It seems like after three years of not having spent too much, the flood gates are open again," Tobias Fromme, a research associate at Bernstein, told Bloomberg.
Boeing did secure more orders than Airbus at the Dubai Airshow last month, primarily aided by Emirates' $52 billion order for 95 widebody jets.
But Airbus did more business at the bigger Paris Air Show in June, and looks set to win the deliveries crown for the fifth year in a row.
The record would cap off the work of Christian Scherer, Airbus' chief commercial officer who will become CEO of its commercial aircraft division next year.
Bloomberg reports that both Boeing and Airbus are still working to close out some big deals before the end of the year.
