Visitors stand in front of the plane Boeing 777X during the Dubai Airshow, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, November 14, 2021.
Turkish Airlines (THY) (THYAO.IS) burst onto the show's agenda on Saturday with word from state-run Anadolu news agency that it was in talks to buy up to 355 Airbus jets.
It has said it is in discussions for as many as 600 planes overall, split between Airbus and Boeing.
However, speculation of a large Dubai order for narrowbody jets from the region's newest player, Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Air, as early as Dubai is premature, other sources said.
Emirates is the world's largest user of wide-body jets, including Airbus A380 superjumbos and current-generation Boeing 777s.
