Dubai Airshow - EK Orders Announcement.
 

Anybody care to start a sweepstake on the numbers and types of aircraft Emirates are going to announce at this year's airshow?

More 777s or 380s that is the question.

80 A350s as a starter for 10.

More 77Fs, launch of the 77NG, POSSIBLY some cancellations...

Mhh... I don't know if you read this..

Emirates sees profit slide 76% on fuel, Arab Spring - Transport - ArabianBusiness.com

Interesting times ahead.

Yeah- only added 225M to the 3.8G they have in the bank.

Tough times...

I see the rules of economics don't apply there. In the real world a company seeing its profit down by more than 2/3 would be in a rather dramatic situation....
For sure you will not get a bonus my friend..sorry. But nevertheless keep pumping! Good luck!

Well, not really, an airline MAKING money would be head lines any where in the world. In most parts of the world a press release "deficit down by 2/3" would probably make the head lines. Keep in mind EK still made a profit of 225,000,000.00 dollars in the first six months!!!

More 777’s
More 380’s

A350 cancellations announced after the air show.

Two type fleet. B777 and A380.

I would say:


~More B777
~Launch customer/pre order for the B777NG
~Delivery delay for the A380 so that EK can get the HGW version of the a/c


And for all the speculators out there, keep in mind that the profits declared were for the first half of this fiscal year, we have another 6 months left, it could be an excellent outcome for the net fiscal results.
