Emirates signs record-breaking Boeing order
Emirates has placed the single largest aircraft order in dollar value in Boeing’s history.
The airline has ordered 50 Boeing 777-300, costing approximately US$18 Billion, with options for 20 more 777-300 at a collective value of US$26 Billion.
Emirates had 40 777-300 ERs already on the order books, so it now stands at a firm order of 90 777s.
"This affirms our strategy to expand our long haul destinations and continue to excel as a world leading carrier, connecting the world to Dubai and beyond," said H.H. Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, chairman and chief executive, Emirates Airline and Group.
He added: "The Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft plays a pivotal role in Emirates development of a modern fleet to meet the demand for global air travel for the future."
Tim Clark, president, Emirates said: "Today's 777-300 ER order gives Emirates the ability to replace some of our older existing aircraft allowing us to maintain our leadership in fuel efficiency as well as providing our customers with an updated superior product.”
The agreement was signed yesterday during a ceremony at the Dubai Air Show by His Highness (H.H.) Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group, and Jim Albaugh, President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
