Flight Deck Crew
Emirates’ order of US$ 9.7 billion was the largest to date for the Boeing 777 family of aircraft. Delivery of the 24 B777-300ERs, 10 B777-200LR Worldliners and eight B777 freighters began last year and has helped to meet the increasing demand to our current destinations in over 60 countries. These new aircraft will also help us explore exciting new destinations on every continent.
Emirates’ total order book is now approximately US$58 billion worth of aircraft and our current fleet size is more than 120 wide-bodied Airbus and Boeing aircraft. A total of 58 Super Jumbo A380-800 aircraft are on order, the first four have been delivered.
A new terminal at Dubai International Airport is dedicated to the Emirates fleet. By 2012 Emirates expects to have twice as many jets in its fleet as it does today, able to carry over 33 million passengers every year. Planning also foresees the fleet more then tripling in size over the next 10 years.
The airline is also investing in leading-edge facilities to support this rapidly growing fleet. This includes a state-of-the-art jet engine testing and engineering facility, which is one of the world’s largest civil aviation maintenance centres.
