FlyDubai, Boeing 737 MAX
Digest more
FlyDubai, the lower-cost sister carrier of Emirates, said Wednesday it ordered 75 additional Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in a deal worth $13 billion. Emirates meanwhile bought eight Airbus A350-900 aircraft at a list price of $3.
The Boeing MD-11 cargo plane that crashed in Louisville, Ky., showed signs of “fatigue cracks” and “overstress failures” in a piece of the plane that connects the engine to the wing.
As one of the biggest and oldest manufacturers of large airframes, it's hard to ignore when Boeing occasionally comes out with the strangest aircraft designs.
The biennial Dubai Air Show opened on Monday with hometown airline Emirates ordering 65 of Boeing's upcoming 777-9 aircraft, as the carrier looks to increase its fleets off record earnings and unending demand for flights through this East-West travel hub.
Clark believes a stretched version of the 777-9—unofficially but unsurprisingly dubbed the -10—would only be available at the earliest well into the 2030s. A larger variant of the A350-1000, already in service and production, could debut sooner.
