Boeing and Emirates have announced a commitment to purchase 40 787-10 Dreamliners at the 2017 Dubai Airshow.
The deal, including airplanes and related equipment, is valued at $15.1 billion at current list prices.
Emirates is the world’s largest Boeing 777 operator and will be the first to receive the new 777X in 2020.
In selecting the 787-10, Emirates complements their 777 fleet with a medium twin-aisle airplane that offers 25 per cent better fuel efficiency per seat and emissions than the airplanes it replaces.
