Emirates Airline, the world's largest long-haul airline, has announced a significant order for 95 Boeing aircraft, valued at $52 billion. The order was made public at the 2023 Dubai Airshow, marking the first major deal of the event. The order includes 55 additional Boeing 777-9s and 35 of its 777-8s, bringing Emirates' total orders for the 777X wide-body jets to 205 units. The airline is also updating its order of Boeing 787 Dreamliners from 30 to 35.

In addition to the aircraft, Emirates confirmed its order of a further 202 engines from General Electric: the GE9X engines, which will power the new 777X aircraft. The Middle East region's role as a connection hub for long-haul journeys is a major source of demand for wide-body aircraft. This order represents a significant investment in the future of aviation and supports Dubai's economic agenda.

Emirates' sister airline, flydubai, also placed an order for 30 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, valued at $11 billion, marking its first order for wide-body jets. The aviation and tourism industries are crucial to Dubai's economy, which aims to double in size over the next decade. The orders come as competition intensifies in the region with Saudi Arabia expanding its fleet and airlines in Turkey and India planning to steer more connecting traffic away from the Gulf.
