    AIRBUS SE won orders from China to supply 140 single-aisle and wide-body jets worth US$22 billion at list prices and said it's in talks to sell more A380 superjumbos as the Asian nation is set to become the world's largest aviation market.

    The European planemaker secured an outline deal for 100 A320 series jets split between current and new-engine-option versions, as well as 40 of its latest twin-aisle A350s, chief executive officer Tom Enders said on Wednesday in Berlin during a visit to the German capital by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
