Emirates is behind the 777-10 arrangement
Emirates has also given the thumbs up to Boeing’s extension course to upgrade the 777-10, which is different from its 777X family, when registering aircraft in stores to convert the 777-10 or 777-8.
On the 777-10s, Sheikh Ahmed said: “Emirates is open about the fact that we are willing manufacturers to build large-capacity, high-performance aircraft, especially with the expected increase in traffic at the airports.
“We fully support Boeing’s 777-10 expansion course and have options to convert our recent 777-9 order to a 777-10 or 777-8.”
Stephanie Papa, President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said: “We are once again extremely honored that Emirates has once again chosen the Boeing 777x to operate its future World-Class and expand its global network.
“Boeing has been a proud supporter of Emirates for the past 40 years as the airline has grown into one of the world’s leading carriers and built a reputation for partnership with Emirates.”
Russell Stokes, President and CEO of sales and services of Ge Aerospace, added: “We are proud to deepen our confidence for decades with our team. We are ready to support Ge90 solutions and specifications. We are ready to support solutions for all our purposes and Services.”
