Overview
- Emirates ordered 65 Boeing 777‑9s valued at about $38 billion at list prices, with first deliveries targeted for the second quarter of 2027 despite the 777X program’s delays.
- The Emirates agreement includes 130 additional GE9X engines, lifting its GE9X total to 540 units, and it allows conversions to the 777‑8 or a potential 777‑10 now under Boeing feasibility study.
- Airbus secured a provisional order from flydubai for 150 A321neo jets, marking a major shift for the airline from its exclusive reliance on Boeing’s 737 family.
- Etihad confirmed new Airbus widebody purchases comprising six A330‑900s, seven A350‑1000s and three A350F freighters as it continues its post‑turnaround expansion.
- Boeing also logged smaller wins reported at the show, including 11 additional 737 MAX for Ethiopian Airlines and a commitment for nine 737‑8s from Air Senegal, while deliveries tied to the Emirates deal extend into the 2030s.
