Emirates- |Saved Super Jumbo Jets Future|

in #news6 years ago

The Emirates airline has promulgated an order for up to 36 Airbus A380s.

The $16bn (£11.5bn) deal amounts to a reprieve for the A380 after Airbus threatened to stop making the jet if it could not come to a deal with Emirates.

Emirates is the only airline to have put the A380 at the heart of its operations and had been expected to place an order for more of the jets at the Dubai Airshow last November.

However, it then injuctively authorized 40 Boeing 787 Dreamliners instead.

Emirates verbalized it had now made a firm order for 20 of the A380, the world's most immensely colossal passenger airliner, with options to buy a further 16. Distributions are scheduled to commence in 2020.

Emirates is already the most astronomically immense customer for the plane, with 101 currently flying and 41 more firm orders aforetime placed.

On Monday, Airbus sales director John Leahy verbally expressed the company would have to halt the A380 programme if Emirates did not place another order.
