Emirates cancels order for 70 Airbus A350s
Dubai's Emirates Airline has cancelled an order for 70 of Airbus's A350 wide-bodied aircraft, the planemaker says. Airbus said the cancellation had followed "ongoing discussions with the airline in light of their fleet requirement review". In 2007, Emirates placed 50 orders for the A350-900 and 20 for the A350-1000, with deliveries due from 2019. UK engine maker Rolls-Royce said the cancellation would lead to a £2.6bn hit to its order book. (www.bbc.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The A350's were supposed to be delivered soon - so obviously Emirates wasn't worried about losing their deposit. When are 777X supposed to be delivered?

I have heard they are preparing to place an order from Boeing for the 747-8I. Here is the news article, http://seekingalpha.com/article/2259943-boeing-last-chance-for-the-747minus-8i-or-just-leverage-to-force-airbus-to-develop-a-more-efficient-a380
Wasn't Boeing just scarfing up all the 47's it could find?
I can't picture them adopting a four-engined superheavy in lieu of the A350. The idea that Boeing will get orders for the 747-8 as a result of the A350 cancellation seems quite far-fetched.
I would agree, it just seems like the timing from Emirates announcement correlates to Boeing's struggle to maintain orders for its -8 which could be a negotiating point for Emirates.
