At the Dubai Airshow, Emirates signed an order for more A350-900s, bringing the total order to 65 aircraft.
Emirates has ordered fifteen Airbus A350-900 aircraft, for a total of sixty-five aircraft, at the Dubai Airshow. The most advanced and effective widebody aircraft in the world, the A350 leads the 300–410 seater class in terms of range and can fly every sector, from short-haul to ultra-long-haul flights up to 9,700 nm, with ease.
HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group said, “The A350-900s will add to our fleet mix and we are pleased to announce additional orders for this aircraft type. We plan to deploy our A350s to serve a range of new markets including long-haul missions of up to 15 hours flying time from Dubai. We will work closely with Airbus and Rolls-Royce to ensure our aircraft deliver the best possible operating efficiency and flying experience for our customers. Emirates’ orders this week are all carefully planned to support our future growth and the Dubai economic vision set out by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The Emirates experience is often the first visitor experience of Dubai – and we want it to be the best.”
Modern technology, aerodynamics, lightweight materials, and the newest engines are all included into its clean sheet design, which results in a 25% advantage over competing aircraft of the same generation in terms of fuel consumption, operating costs, and CO2 emissions. It also reduces noise levels by 50%.
Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer and Head of International said, “With this agreement we mark another solid step forward in the long standing relationship agreement between Emirates and Airbus. A relationship founded on a pursuit of innovation, efficiency and operational excellence. Just as the A380 established itself at the heart of Emirates operations, we are equally proud of what the A350 will do in the years to come.”
