Emirates to take 30 787-9s and trims 777X deal
Emirates has revised its previous tentative agreement for Boeing 787s, opting to take 30 of the 787-9 variant rather than the larger 787-10. Deliveries of the aircraft, worth US$8.8b, will commence in May 2023 and continue for 5 years. The airline had originally indicated, 2 years ago, that it would order 40 787-10s to be taken from 2022. But the deal was not subsequently firmed and no engine selection was made. Emirates chairman Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum also stated that its agreement for the 777X would be cut back to 126 aircraft from the previous figure of 150. Its original 787-10 deal had a conversion right to the 787-9. But Emirates states that the rejigged deal involved its exercising a "right to substitute" the 777X for 787s, under an agreement with the airframer. <br/>
