Emirates Airline resumed its tradition of bucking trends yesterday by committing to an order for 40 Boeing 787-10s, giving the U.S. airframer a major breakthrough in the region for its Dreamliner family with the Middle East’s biggest airline. Worth $15.1 billion based on list prices, the deal comes just after Emirates announced a 77 percent profit increase during the first half of its fiscal year, at a time of a perceived downturn in the region.
