Dubai's largest air carrier to acquire new aircraft at Farnborough Air Show

Dubai’s state-owned airline Emirates Airline, which is Airbus’s largest customer, has placed another order for a batch of wide-body Double-deck jet aircraft, the Airbus A380. A new order was made during one of the world's largest air shows Farnborough, which takes place every two years in the month of July in the county of Hampshire, UK.

According to the official representative of Emirates, the company after placing the order will announce the number of aircraft that she would like to purchase. In June of this year, Emirates has already made a record order for the acquisition of 32 new Airbus super-large aircraft. The cost of this order is estimated at US $ 11 billion. After its completion, the total number of Airbus aircraft owned by Emirates will be 90.

Recall that in May of this year, the profit of the largest airline in the Arab world amounted to 3.5 billion dirhams (US $ 953 million), which is five times more compared to the same period last year. Emirates management expects its gross profit by the end of this year to be 4.25 billion dirhams (US $ 1.1 billion).
