  • EY Orders 50 More A350s, 36 NEOs, 1 A330F

    It's the airshow that just won't stop:
    Airbus pioneers sustainable aerospace for a safe and united world. Airbus designs, manufactures and delivers industry-leading commercial aircraft, helicopters, military transports, satellites, launchers and more.

    Etihad Airways, national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has announced a firm order for 50 A350 XWBs, 36 A320neo aircraft and one A330-200F as part of its fleet modernization strategy. The contract was signed today at the 2013 Dubai Airshow by James Hogan, Etihad Airways CEO and Fabrice Brégier, Airbus President and CEO.

    The order comprises 40 A350-900s, ten A350-1000s, one A330-200F, 26 A321neo’s and 10 A320neo’s. Etihad currently operates a fleet of 23 A320 Family aircraft, 25 A330s and 11 A340s. The new aircraft will fit seamlessly into the airline’s existing long-haul fleet delivering operational efficiencies and cost savings.

    So, given that they have 12 A350-1000s already on order, that brings their total to 62 A350s:

    40 A350-900s
    22 A350-1000s

    And that, of course, is on top of the shedload of 777Xs and 787-10s ordered this morning as well!

    And that's just widebodies ...
