Dubai Airshow 2023 Set to Break Order Record; Emirates Mulls to Increase Boeing 777X Fleet
The Dubai Airshow is set to begin on Monday, with industry insiders forecasting orders between 300 to 400 aircraft, potentially outpacing last year’s substantial $74 billion worth of agreements. The event is a focal point for global aviation growth and investment, reflecting Dubai’s ascent in the sector.
As the host of the event alongside flyDubai, Emirates is expected to make a strong impact at the airshow, amid regional tensions that have raised concerns over travel sector performance.
The 777X orders would bring a much-needed lift to Boeing, which has been navigating the complexities of tighter certification rules that have introduced uncertainties and potential further delays in its schedule.
The aerospace industry is watching closely as Emirates, a major user of wide-body jets, continues to express interest in expanding its fleet, which already includes Airbus A380s and current-generation 777s, while also evaluating the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 models for future growth.
On a parallel note, flyDubai is considering expanding its fleet with additional narrowbody jets, specifically the Boeing 737 MAX, which competes with Airbus’s A320neo. This anticipated order adds to the buzz at the Dubai Airshow, where both carriers are expected to announce their latest strategic purchases.
