Emirates airline, the biggest buyer of the “super jumbo” Airbus A380, said Wednesday that it is considering increasing its order for the double-decker plane despite delays on existing orders.
Speaking ahead of next week’s Dubai Air Show, Emirates Chairman and Chief Executive Sheik Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum told reporters the Dubai-based carrier is looking to boost its commitment beyond the 58 it has already requested – the most booked by any airline.
“We are considering that, actually,” he said when asked about additional orders. “We’re actually looking at the market as very positive for the next few years. We are always one of the first movers to take advantage of the market.”
