Emirates has placed an order with Boeing for an additional 30 777-300ER aircraft, worth approximately US$9.1bn.
It has already ordered 71 of the aircraft, of which 53 aircraft are currently in service.
“Emirates has played an important role in the 777’s success with its significant support of the program and valuable feedback over the years,” said Jim Albaugh, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
“Today’s order serves to underscore the airline’s confidence in the airplane, which forms the mainstay of its fleet.”
