Emirates hopes to get up to five Boeing 777X jets next year, president says
BERLIN, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Dubai’s Emirates hopes to receive its first 777X widebody jets from Boeing BA.N at the back end of next year, the airline’s President Tim Clark said on Tuesday, after years-long delays to the project.
Emirates and other airlines like Lufthansa or Singapore Airlines are anxious to get the new jet, Clark said at a media event in Berlin.
"We're in discussions about trying to improve the number we're going to get, but it will be between three and five, and in the following year maybe 10," he added.
