See attached article re EK order competition, 787-10 -v- A350-900. EK still wants changes before making a decision.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect is at the end: EK still intends to take delivery of the A340-600s, due for delivery from 2007, notwithstanding the 777-300ER orders this week.
It had been rumoured that EK might cancel the 346, but order the 359s to avoid the loss of its deposit. However, with this prospect out of the question, the 787 seems very much "in the game".
