It seems Emirates still has a lot of money flowing around, with today order at the Berlin airshow for a an extra 32 Airbus A380’s, taking the total the carrier will have to 90 units, all to be fitted with Engine Alliance GP7200 engines.
With 234 units on the order book, and 90 of them Emirates, it’s clear to see who wants the capacity there in when the upturn fully hits.
Interesting times indeed for the Dubai based carrier.
Emirates has 10 A380’s currently in it’s fleet, plying trade radiating from Dubai, and serving Auckland, Bangkok, Jeddah, Paris, London Heathrow, Seoul, Sydney and Toronto, with further expansion to Beijing, Manchester and New York
Lets hope Emirates are right… otherwise there could be a lot of empty seats on these whalejets…
