One that seems to have almost snuck by twice:

Russian airline NordStar (Y7/TYA) has increased an order originally placed in September for 3 ATR42-600s with 2 options, by adding another 2 ATR42-600s.
This means they now have 5 of the type on firm order, in addition to the 4 ATR42-500s that the company already operates.

I just fell of my chair because of this one....

According to a thread on Airliners.net, Lion Air of Indonesia has ordered 230 B737 !!! That is 29 NGs and 201 MAX. Together with already delivered, previous orders and commitment, their total number of B737 ordered will now reach 554 !!!

I think I just fell again...

Erwin

Edit: it also involves 150 options... but the order is not yet firm, it is a commitment.

Singapore Airlines has ordered eight B777-300ERs. These were previously listed as unidentified. This will bring the total of B777s ordered to 85, although some are retired already.

What the...!? I hope for them the infrastructure at Jakarta CGK will improve then. The presence of Lion Air is already immense over there and the number of gates is limited. We'll see.

Singapore Airlines has ordered eight B777-300ERs. These were previously listed as unidentified. This will bring the total of B777s ordered to 85, although some are retired already.

Just to make it clear, these 8 are the confirmation of the commitment announced in August. So not another 8.

Singapore Airlines (SQ/SIA) has announced that it has placed an order with Boeing for 8 B777-300ERs.
These are to be delivered in 2013-2014, and will bring the total of the type in Singapore's fleet to 27.

Look at the post above yours, I already mentioned it

[ehusmann]

American Airlines put an interesting news release on their website. It is about the selection of the A319 and A321 as part of the mega order they signed earlier with Airbus. Not really news as it does not constitute any new orders. However, somewhere at the bottom it is also mentioned that

The Company also has firm orders for 15 777 widebody aircraft, which are scheduled for delivery in 2012 through 2016.

Since only 6 B777-300ER orders are published on the Boeing website (although 7 are known) and AA officially still holds orders for 6 B777-200ER (which will probably never be delivered as 200ERs), this means AA ordered at least 2 more B777, but most likely 8 more B777-300ER.
