Qatar Airways has ordered 24 new aircraft
The first deals have been done at this year's Paris Air Show, with Qatar Airways ordering 24 Airbus A320 jets.
The list price of the planes is $1.84bn (£1.13bn), but airlines usually get discounts, especially in recessions.
Orders are expected to be relatively slow at the show, with many airlines considering delaying existing orders as they struggle to fill their flights.
