Long-haul carrier Emirates announced an order for 65 Boeing (BA) 777-9 aircraft at the Dubai Air Show.
The new purchase brings Emirates’ 777X order—consisting of the 777-9 and 777-8 models—to 270 airplanes.
The order supports the airline’s expansion amid growing travel demand. Emirates, which has grown its global network with the Boeing 777 as its flagship, is one of the launch customers for the new 777X family and placed two previous orders totaling 205 airplanes.
