The order is expected to bring sales of the future mid-sized, long-range passenger jet above the 500-mark.

EADS (EAD.PA) subsidiary Airbus has so far sold 493 of the planes, which are due to be available from the middle of next decade to compete with Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, which has posted sales of 840 aircraft.

The biennial air show runs from Nov. 15-18.

Airbus declined to comment.
