As if on cue, Emirates Airline added a dose of intrigue to what was shaping up to be a very quiet Dubai Airshow Monday afternoon as Emirates chairman Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al Maktoum bestowed Airbus with an order for 50 A350-900s worth $16 billion at list prices. The contract with Airbus calls for deliveries to start in 2023 and continue into 2028.
