Airbus and <\/strong>Emirates Airline have signed a purchase agreement for 50 A350-900s – Airbus\u2019 newest generation widebody aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The order was signed at Dubai Airshow 2019 by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum and Guillaume Faury, Airbus Chief Executive Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HH Sheikh Ahmed said: \u201cToday, we are pleased to sign a firm order for 50 A350 XWB’s, powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines. This follows a thorough review of various aircraft options and of our own fleet plans. It is Emirates\u2019 long-standing strategy to invest in modern and efficient aircraft, and we are confident in the performance of the A350 XWB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cComplementing our A380’s and 777’s, the A350’s will give us added operational flexibility in terms of capacity, range and deployment. In effect, we are strengthening our business model to provide efficient and comfortable air transport services to, and through, our Dubai hub.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheikh Ahmed added: \u201cThis deal reflects our confidence in the future of the UAE\u2019s aviation sector, and is a strong affirmation of Dubai\u2019s strategy to be a global nexus connected to cities, communities and economies via a world-class and modern aviation sector.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are honoured by Emirates\u2019 strong vote of confidence in our newest widebody aircraft, taking our partnership to the next level. The A350 will bring unbeatable economics and environmental benefits to their fleet,\u201d said Guillaume Faury, Airbus Chief Executive Officer.  \u201cWe look forward to seeing the A350 flying in Emirates colours!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A350 XWB offers by design unrivalled operational flexibility and efficiency for all market segments – up to ultra-long haul (17,900km). Its Airspace by Airbus cabin is the quietest of any twin-aisle aircraft and offers passengers and crews the most modern in-flight flying experience. The aircraft features the latest aerodynamic design, a carbon fibre fuselage and wings, plus new fuel-efficient Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines.\u00a0 Together, these latest technologies result in 25% lower operating costs, as well as 25% reduction in fuel burn and CO2 emissions compared with previous-generation competing aircraft \u2013 demonstrating Airbus\u2019 commitment to minimise its environmental impact while remaining at the cutting edge of air travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
