Emirates is evaluating whether to revive a stalled deal announced last year for up to 60 Airbus widebodies, including 30 A350 XWBs.

At the delivery ceremony for its first A380 in Hamburg in July 2008, the Dubai carrier signed a letter of intent for 30 A330-300s for delivery from 2012, as well as 30 more A350-1000s. But the deal was put on the backburner after the global downturn, says the airline's president, Tim Clark. "By the time it came to consummating the deal, the bottom had fallen out of the market, so we didn't."

Clark says he considers the planned order "alive and well, and very, very topical at this moment", but thinks it is unlikely to be revived in time to confirm at November's Dubai air show.



Emirates signs LoI for 60 more Airbus jets
By David Kaminski-Morrow


Middle Eastern carrier Emirates has signed a letter of intent for 30 Airbus A330-300s and 30 A350 XWBs.

The carrier signed the agreement in Hamburg today ahead of its taking delivery of its first A380.

No engine selection has been disclosed for the A330s. The A350 is currently only available with Rolls-Royce Trent XWB powerplants.

Emirates will take delivery of the A330s from 2012.

Emirates still in talks over slowing deliveries
By David Kaminski-Morrow


Emirates is still discussing timing of aircraft deliveries after admitting that it wants to slow the pace of arrivals from late next year.

The Dubai-based carrier will receive seven Airbus A380s during the current financial year - its first 2008 delivery was on 24 April - plus 10 Boeing 777s.

But Emirates has confirmed statements by president Tim Clark that the carrier is looking at "slowing things" from late 2010 or early 2011.

"Close collaboration with manufacturers continues over exact timings, but the important point is that despite what's going on in the world, there have been no cancellations," says a spokesman for Emirates.

He would not confirm reported comments from Emirates' French and Benelux manager that it would take six A380s in 2010, five in 2011, 12 in 2012 and 11 in 2013.

Emirates has disclosed that it plans to open an A380 service to Paris Charles de Gaulle from 1 February next year. It currently operates twice-daily to the French capital using 777s, and the A380 will replace the 777 on the morning service.

Clark says the decision to deploy the A380 to Paris is the result of "encouraging sales" to and from the city, and adds: "Our plans to introduce this exceptional aircraft have been accelerated by almost a year which, in the current economic climate, is a major achievement."
 
Emirates has posted an 80% fall in net profits

Middle Eastern operator Emirates has posted an 80% fall in net profits to Dhs982 million ($268 million) for the full year 2008.

As a result Emirates Group also saw a heavy slide in net profit to Dhs1.49 billion, down 72% on the previous year, although revenues were up more than 10% to Dhs46.3 billion.

Emirates says the figures reflect the impact of record fuel prices in the first six months of the year as well as the economic climate. Fuel costs accounted for 36% of the carrier's operating expenditure.



"Under the circumstances this is a satisfactory result," says Emirates Group chief Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum.

Emirates Group says it cash balance stayed "healthy" at Dhs8.7 billion, although this figure was down from Dhs14 billion as a result of aircraft funding, cabin retrofits and new construction projects.

"No-one could have predicted the scale of the worldwide recession which is now impacting every country," says Al-Maktoum.

"As we move into the new financial year, the outlook is not improving. Although fuel prices are dropping, demand for business- and first-class traffic is still weak in many markets."

But he says he still believes, despite the economic situation, the coming year will be one of "satisfactory growth" for the group.

"Our development plans remain unchanged," he insists. "We have weathered the last 12 months with satisfactory growth, maintained the quality of our award-winning service, and maintained staff numbers in the face of an unsettled future."
 
Emirates pensa di convertire in ordine la lettera d'intenti per 60 Airbus

Emirates ponders resurrection of stalled Airbus widebody order
By Max Kingsley-Jones

Emirates is evaluating whether to revive a stalled deal announced last year for up to 60 Airbus widebodies, including 30 A350 XWBs.

At the delivery ceremony for its first A380 in Hamburg in July 2008, the Dubai carrier signed a letter of intent for 30 A330-300s for delivery from 2012, as well as 30 more A350-1000s. But the deal was put on the backburner after the global downturn, says the airline's president, Tim Clark. "By the time it came to consummating the deal, the bottom had fallen out of the market, so we didn't."

Clark says he considers the planned order "alive and well, and very, very topical at this moment", but thinks it is unlikely to be revived in time to confirm at November's Dubai air show.

Emirates continues to forge ahead with new widebody deliveries - it is taking 22 A380s and 777s during its current financial year, which began on 1 April 2009 - and Clark says the passenger fleet will number about 145 aircraft by next summer.

However, from September next year, the airline will start phasing out up to 58 of its older aircraft, including 29 A330-200s, eight A340-300s and 21 777-200ER/300s.

With the first of 70 firmly ordered A350s (50 -900s and 20 -1000s) due to arrive in 2014, Clark says the composition of that deal - and the stalled plan for 30 more -1000s - is being re-evaluated. "I'm not sure the ratio we have is right - we want to go for more -1000s," he says.

Clark says Emirates' future fleet composition plan is being driven by the fact there has been a major rethink on the expansion strategy for Dubai's current international airport, following the decision to push back development of the all-new hub at Jebel Ali. "We're looking at what one can do here to maximise Dubai International," he adds. "One thing is to make the aircraft bigger."

i 777 hanno al massimo 13 anni secondo airfleets.net, gli a330-200 al massimo 10 anni (verranno ceduti 29 di questi, tutti quelli che hanno) e gli a340-300 hanno massimo 13 anni (e verranno venduti tutti, cioè 8)
mi sembra di capire che vogliano sostituire i 332 con 333 ed i 772 e 773 con A350-1000 e A380
 
Quello che mi colpisce è il ridimensionamento di un aeroporto che deve ancora nascere, anzi crescere, ovvero Jabel Ali
 
Sembra anche che, contrariamente a quanto pensavo una decina d'anni fa, quando i vari Boeing 777 e Airbus 333/340 facevano il loro ingresso nei cieli mondiali; le versioni "più corte" non abbiano successo, e che alla fine le compagnie preferiscano qualche centinaio di miglia in meno di autonomia, ma qualche posto in più. Forse perché le rotte più trafficate e redditizie tutto sommato non sono ancora quelle ultra long haul.
 
Mi stupisco che non volino con il 330-300: lo trovo molto adatto per il loro mix di prodotto e per il loro network.

Ma i B777 dell'EK sono molto vecchi? Ma che vogliono fare con tutti questi aerei?

Alcuni hanno un po' di anni, anche se non molti.

Credo sia più semplice fare il phase out di aerei con un interni vecchi ed un IFE limitato piuttosto che sostituire il sistema e rifare gli interni.

Immagino possano prendere dei 330-300 che trovo molto adatti per il loro prodotto ed il loro network (l'avevo scritto anche in un altro thread).

Per quanto riguarda lo sviluppo delle rotte, il problema è che le ondate saturano già il nuovo T3 e c'è ben poco spazio di crescita. Devono anche "spalmare" di più i voli sulla giornata.

Grazie della risposta... cmq mi dispiace che se ne vanno fuori i B777 dalla flotta EK...
 
Ormai in flotta Emirates sono tutti Airbus, tranne i 777 e 747.
Sta accandendo lo stesso in AZA, tutto Airbus, solo 767 e 777 di Boeing, ma mi sa che presto vanno via... 767 sostituito dall'A330 e 777 dall'A350

Presto..... forse per i 330, ma per i 350 mi sa mica tanto presto, quando il 350 sarà pronto i 777 di AZ saranno quasi a fine carriera....
