Emirates orders 65 more Boeing 777-9 jets, expanding fleet commitment

Investing.com -- Dubai-based airline Emirates announced on Monday it is ordering an additional 65 Boeing 777-9 jets, expanding its already substantial commitment to the 777X family of aircraft.

This new order builds upon Emirates’ existing order of 205 aircraft from the wider 777X family, significantly increasing the carrier’s future fleet plans.

"It is a long-term commitment that supports hundreds of thousands of high-value factory jobs," Emirates CEO Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said during a news conference.

The announcement represents a major boost for Boeing’s 777X program, with Emirates continuing to be one of the manufacturer’s most important customers for its next-generation wide-body aircraft.
