Boeing says it will be announcing a major sale for its new 787 Dreamliner at the Dubai Air Show, which opened today. It would not say which airline is buying the plane, which is going head to head with the Airbus A350.

The manufacturer said that sales this year for its aircraft in general are going well, and it expects to hit 150 orders from the Middle East alone by the end of the year.

Emirates Airline is expected to announcements the order of 50 Airbus A350s rather than Boeing’s equivalent 787 Dreamliner at this week’s show.
