Aircraft Order Predictions for Dubai Airshow Are.....
This airshow will be huge for the big 3 carriers as well as other regional players and their pilots.
So, just for fun, any "serious" (if that is possible on Pprune ) predictions on fleet orders/options?
My predictions:
EK: 150 777-9X, 20 A380
Other UAE carrier: 30 787-9, 30 777-9X, 50 A321 NEO
QR: 30 A350-1000, 50 C-Series CS300
FlyDubai: 100 737-800 MAX, 10 A330s from EK
I will most likely be way off the mark. Regardless, should be interesting to watch! We should know soon enough.

Best Guess:
EK:
100 777-9x
Convert some or all A350 orders to 380's
QR:
30 777-9x
30 A350-1000
10 A380
No Name Airline:
No orders due to the fact airshow is in the wrong Emirate
EK:
100 777-9x
Convert some or all A350 orders to 380's
QR:
30 777-9x
30 A350-1000
10 A380

Flight International 12 Nov 2013 edition has Tim Clark in a Video interview stating
"Fleet will eventually grow to 240 aircraft combination of 380s,ERs, and 350s eventually"

I would be surprised if we took ANY A350-1000. It's not quite enough for EK against the capability of the 777-8 and -9.
However I'm certain we'll see the 350-900 on lower capacity routes that currently demand a 330 / 340 / 772.
Maybe the 20 -1000s already ordered will be converted to top up the 380 or 359 orders.
I'm going for 175 77X, a mix of 8 and 9s.

What about Air Arabia? A320 NEO orders to refresh their fleet?
Although I believe QR will ultimately order the Bombardier C-Series CS300 for longer, thinner routes, it is a shame Bombardier has been so delayed in their development. That may push any QR C-Series order out a few months.

We should have the first indication in about 4h; there is an Etihad press conference at mid-day; an order for 777Xs and 787-10s is expected.
As GoreTex says, 50 more A380s are expected from EK, to add to the 90 now on order; total 140. This would be the first order in over a year for the 380.
Shh ... if you listen carefully, you can just hear half a dozen senior European airline CEOs choking on their cereal ...
