Dubai Eye aired an interview with Shiek Ahmed (CEO of Emirates) this morning, when quized on the matter of the 340-600's did'nt sound very enthusiastic about them at all, continued with the stance that they have not cancelled the order but are exploring the option of converting to additional 380 orders.
While it was a leading question from the interviewer he eseentially agreed with the question that airbus need to develop a new widebody platform.
Should be interesting to see how this progresses as they certainly need the capacity to maintain current expansion.
