Airbus picks up 235 jet orders - by James Wallace

With time running out this year to beat The Boeing Co. and keep the jetliner order crown that it has owned since 2001, Airbus pulled a rabbit out of its hat.

Airbus announced orders and commitments for 235 planes -- 170 for airlines in China, where Airbus said it will establish its first airplane assembly plant outside of Europe. The European company also received an order for 65 jets from Skybus Airlines.
