Emirates turns the screws on Boeing with $38B 777X order as it snubs Airbus A350‑1000 over engine concerns — Dubai Airshow 2025
Emirates finalized a $38 billion order for 65 Boeing 777-9s at the Dubai Airshow, raising its 777X backlog to 270 jets with first deliveries from Q2 2027. The airline ruled out new Airbus A350-1000 purchases until Rolls-Royce upgrades engines, expected from 2028. Emirates also supports Boeing’s study of a larger 777-10 and may convert part of its order.
