* Airbus to get orders for 10 A350s, 20 A330s, A320s

PARIS, Nov 3 (Reuters) - European aircraft maker Airbus is set to win from China during its president's visit to Paris orders for 10 A350s, some 20 A330s and a significant number of A320s, but no A380 superjumbos, Les Echos reported.

Airbus declined to comment on the report made available on Wednesday before its publication on Thursday.

However, a source close to the negotiations said, "The negotiations are still ongoing and nothing is finalized yet."

Other sources close to the matter had said earlier this week that Airbus was in talks that could lead to the sale of around 100 passenger planes to China during President Hu Jintao's visit to Paris on Nov. 4 and 5. [ID:nLDE6A1104]

The potential $10 billion deal is part of several contracts French companies, including nuclear power group Areva , are hoping to secure during the president's visit. (Reporting by James Regan. Editing by Robert MacMillan)
