Boeing has announced up to $101.5bn (£63bn) in aircraft orders at the Dubai Air Show, driven by 'record demand' for its planned long haul 777X aircraft.
The new business took the US aerospace firm's total orders at the show to more than twice that booked by European rival Airbus.
Boeing said more than $95bn (£58.9bn) of its orders were for the 777X long-haul aircraft, making it the "largest product launch in commercial jetliner history by value".
Airbus totted up orders worth $44bn (£27.2bn), with Emirates placing the biggest by value, spending $20bn (£12.4bn) on 50 A380 super jumbos.
The total takings of about $145bn (£89.8bn) by the two rivals at Dubai were about twice those recorded at the Paris Air Show in June, when Airbus announced $39.3bn (£24.3bn) in orders and Boeing unveiled $38bn (£23.5bn).
Boeing had a tough start to 2013 when its Dreamliners were grounded Boeing's performance in Dubai was underpinned by demand for its new 777X, which was snapped up by Middle Eastern airlines.
Dubai's flagship Emirates placed an order worth $55.6bn (£34.4bn) for 115 777-9X aircraft, which is designed to carry more than 400 passengers.
It also ordered 35 777-8Xs, which have a capacity of 350 passengers.
Etihad Airways ordered 17 of the bigger model and eight of the 777-8Xs, while Qatar Airways bought 50 777-9Xs.
Boeing claims the aircraft, which is due to enter service around 2020, will be 12% more fuel efficient than the Airbus A350.
The brisk business the company enjoyed in Dubai followed a tough period for the firm in 2013.
Its 787 Dreamliner was beset by technical issues and was grounded worldwide for a time while battery modifications were completed to prevent over-heating.
In July, a fire aboard an Ethiopian Airlines Dreamliner at Heathrow was linked to the plane's emergency beacon rather than the batteries at the centre of the previous probe.
