Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) shares are trading higher by around 3% after it announced winning contracts from several Middle Eastern airlines Monday during the Dubai Airshow. 

The company penned two deals with UAE's major airline operators for its widebody jets.

Boeing won an order for 90 777X airplanes, including 55 777-9 and 35 777-8 jets, from Emirates.

The new order will increase Emirates' 777X family backlog to 205 planes.

The UAE's prominent airline operator is also buying five more 787 jets, boosting its 787 backlog to 35 while converting 30 787-9s to 20 787-8 and 10 787-10 airplanes.
