Transportation Emirates Orders 95 Boeing Airplanes For $52 Billion By Helder Marinho @HelderMarinho 11/13/23 AT 9:29 AM EST Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on LinkedIn Share on Reddit Share on Flipboard Share on Pocket

Emira­tes is already the world‘s biggest operator of the Boeing 777 AFP / Kar­im SAHIB Emirates Airlines an­nounced an or­der of 55 Bo­eing 777-9s, 35 77­7-8s and 5 ad­di­tion­al 787 Dre­amlin­ers, for a tot­al of $52 billion. The announcement was made dur­ing the Du­bay Air­show, which start­ed Mon­day. With the new or­der, Emirates‘s fleet of Boe­ing 777 will in­crease to 205, cem­ent­ing its po­si­tion as the big­gest oper­ator of the wide-body pas­sen­ger air­craft. “The 77­7 has been cen­tral to Emirates’ fleet and net­work stra­te­gy of con­nect­ing ci­ties on all con­ti­nents non-stop to Du­ba­i,” Emi­ra­tes Char­man and Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer SheikhAh­med bin Saeed Al Ma­kt­oum said  in a  state­ment. “These add­i­tio­nal air­craft will ena­ble Emirates to con­nect even more ci­ties, sup­port­ing the Du­bai eco­nomic agen­da.”­

Dub­ai plans to add 400 ci­ties to its trade map ov­er the next de­cade. Bo­e­ing fore­casts that the Mid­dle East will con­cen­trate most orders for its wide-body air­planes, as ci­ties in the re­gion be­come hubs to con­nect with major glob­al pop­u­la­tion cen­ters. “The 77­7-9 and 77­7-8 are the perfect air­planes to sup­port Emirates‘ growth, im­prov­ing e­nvi­ro­n­men­tal perform­ance and un­match­ed pay­load ca­pa­bi­li­ty a­long the way,” Stan De­al, pres­i­dent and CEO of Bo­e­ing Com­merci­al Air­planes said  in a state­ment.

Ac­cord­ing to Boe­ing, the 77­7-9 will be the lfygest and most fuel-efficient twin-engine  jet in the world, with the lowest operating cost per seat of any com­me­rci­al air­plane. It seats426 pas­sengers in atyp­ic­al tw­o-cla­ss con­fig­u­ra­tion, with a range of 13,510 km.
The 777-8 seats 395 pas­sen­gers with a range of 16,190 km.
