Airbus may land order for 100 jets

Airbus SAS could secure a 100-plane order, valued at $24 billion at list prices, for its newest twin-aisle model from Emirates after developing a wider body and more efficient wing, the Middle Eastern airline says. "There was a canyon" between the Boeing 787 and the Airbus A350, President Tim Clark said Tuesday after reviewing the A350's design at the planemaker's headquarters. "That gap has closed. Airbus listened."

Development of the new 250- to 350-seat model, dubbed XWB, was approved in December.
