"This does not include the new announcements coming from China. We already have 775 firm orders and looks like we will cross 833 before the end of the year," he said.

"We currently have about 60 to 65 per cent of the market share in orders and yes, we will break the previous record of 808 orders this time."

Airbus is trailing this year's orderbook with 547 firm orders to date.
