Emirates places super order for super jets

Tuesday, 09 Jun, 2010 0

Emirates has placed what it claims is the largest single order for aircraft by ordering 32 Airbus 380 jets.

The buying spree would cost around $11 billion at the going rate of $346.5m a plane (although one assumes a bulk discount will be on the cards) and will mean the Middle Eastern carrier will have 90 planes.

Delivery date is 2017.

The bold order is a sign of chief executive Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum’s confidence in his airline’s growth. This year it anticipates earning $1.16 billion.
