Together, the Boeing and Airbus orders, excluding purchase rights, are worth an estimated US$99 billion at list prices. This is the largest-ever aircraft order in civil aviation and also Emirates’ largest order announced at any event to date.

The agreement was signed at the Dubai Air Show by His Highness (H.H.) Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, chairman and chief executive, Emirates Airline and Group, with Jim McNerney, Boeing chairman, president and CEO, and Fabrice Brégier, Airbus’ president and CEO.
