On Tuesday, Emirates President Tim Clark stated that the Dubai-based carrier may add Airbus A350, Boeing 777X, or 787 jets to fulfill 2030 demand.
“We are looking at both more A350s, more 777-9 and possibly the 787 range,” Tim Clark told reporters at a global airlines event.
No planes were mentioned.
“All I’ll say is that we’re considering buying more aircraft,” he said. The 400-seat 777-9 and smaller 777-8 are Boeing 777X models.
Years were needed for certification and engine development. Emirates ordered 30 787 Dreamliners and reduced its 777X order to 126 in 2019.
On Tuesday in Istanbul, Clark said he was “perhaps a little more confident” in Boeing’s ability to deliver the new aircraft and expected the first one in the fourth quarter of 2025.
