While Emirates Airline is widely expected to announce a follow-on order for the Airbus A380 at the Dubai Air Show today, the A380 Plus revealed at Paris is just the latest update plan for an Airbus type, with many updates of its other aircraft already well into testing or entering service. The OEM expects more sales will follow, with this week being the best opportunity it has to end the year on a high note.
