Buyers ordered 20 widebody 777s, nine single-aisle 737s and three 747s, according to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported it on its Web site.
The $5.8 billion figure was calculated based on median order prices, a Boeing spokesman told Reuters.
The 777s, with an average list price of $216 million each, are among the most expensive of Boeing's products, the Journal reported.
On Thursday, Cathay Pacific Airways said it placed orders for two more 777 aircrafts.
