Emirates opened the Dubai Airshow 2023 today with a significant order for 95 additional wide-body aircraft, taking its total order book to 295 aircraft.
Already the world’s biggest operator of wide-body passenger aircraft, Emirates has committed to additional Boeing 777-9s, 777-8s, and 787s, worth US$ 52 billion, to power its growth plans, maintain a modern efficient fleet, and deliver the best flying experience to its customers.
Emirates’ Boeing order
Emirates, already the world’s largest operator of Boeing 777 aircraft, has signed firm orders for 55 additional 777-9s and 35 777-8s. This takes the airline’s 777-X order book to a total of 205 units.
Emirates also confirmed an order of 202 GE9X engines to power the additional 777X aircraft ordered today, taking its total GE9X engine order to 460 units.
From its previous order of 115 units, the first 777-9 is expected to join Emirates’ fleet in 2025. Today’s additional orders mean Emirates will induct new 777-9s to its fleet until 2035.
With this latest order, Emirates is also set to be one of the launch customers of the 777-8 passenger variant, with first deliveries expected in 2030.

Emirates values its part of the order – disclosed on the first day of the Dubai air show – at $52 billion.
It comprises 55 additional 777-9s, which will be delivered from 2025, plus 35 of the smaller 777-8 which will start arriving in 2030.
Emirates Group chief Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, speaking at the event, said the carrier would be “one of the launch customers” for the 777-8.
The Dubai-based operator had committed to 40 787-10s a few years ago, before rejigging the deal to take 30 787-9s instead.
But Al Maktoum says the airline will have 35 787s, comprising 15 787-10s – revisiting its earlier intention to take the largest variant – and 20 787-8s.
He says Emirates will have 245 widebody aircraft on order, including 205 777Xs, as a result of the agreement. To power the 777Xs, the carrier is signing for 202 additional General Electric GE9X engines.
