Could Emirates order an A380neo this time around?
Emirates has $128 billion worth of aircraft still on order
Emirates, the world’s largest operator of both Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 aircraft, has been flying the Boeing 777 since 1996 and this year retired its final 777-200. The airline currently operates 106 of the -300ER model and holds orders–placed at the last Dubai Air Show–for 150 of the 777X version.

With Emirates ordering 50 Airbus A380s and 150 more Boeing 777Xs at the 2013 Dubai Airshow, aviation analysts are not expecting orders fireworks this year. Emirates’ president, Sir Tim Clark, described the 2013 orders as “historic” in September, but the smart money has been on a more restrained announcement this time around, merely cementing earlier deals.
