The deal for 115 400-seat 777-9Xs and 35 smaller 777-8Xs firms up a commitment announced last year and comes with an option for 50 more aircraft taking its value to $75 billion at list prices, Dubai-based Emirates said in a joint statement with Boeing.

The largest single order in aviation history positions Emirates as lead operator of the first twin-jet able to haul a jumbo’s payload, aided by a revamp with new General Electric engines and Boeing’s largest-ever wing.
The Gulf carrier, the No. 1 operator of both the current-generation 777 and Airbus A380 superjumbo, is splurging on capacity as it builds Dubai into the leading hub for long-haul transfer flights.

While financing options haven’t been announced, some U.S. carriers led by Delta Air Lines have protested government-backed competitors, including Emirates, receiving loan guarantees from the U.S. Export-Import Bank, which helps foreign companies buy American goods. Atlanta-based Delta has said the bank’s charter should expire at the end of September unless the 80-year-old lender drops its support for such purchases of widebody jets.

The New & Old Boeing 747
Lufthansa is celebrating the arrival of its latest Boeing 747, the 1,500th 747 ever built by U.S. jetmaker Boeing. The airline has affixed a special "1500th" logo to the jet to commemorate the milestone.
The jet – tail number D-ABYP – was officially handed over to Lufthansa on Saturday at Boeing's 747 assembly line facility in Everett, Wash. The carrier then flew the jet to its main base in Frankfurt, where the 1,500th 747 landed on Sunday at 9:17 a.m. local time.

"It's an honor for Lufthansa that the anniversary jumbo will fly in the colors of the Lufthansa crane," Nico Buchholz, Head of Group Fleet Management for Lufthansa,says in a statement. "For decades, Lufthansa has been one of the aircraft manufacturer's closest advisers -- a pioneer when it comes to developing new, environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient aircraft."
The milestone 747 taken by Lufthansa is the 76th 747 to be taken by the carrier since Boeing began the aircraft line in the late 1960s. It's also the 14th of Boeing's newest model of the 747 – the 747-8 Intercontinental – to join Lufthansa's fleet. The German airline expects to take 19 "Dash-8s" in total, a figure that it says will make it "the world's largest operator of 747-8s among passenger airlines."

The new A380 Jet Luxury in Dubai
Dubai International Airport has surpassed Heathrow as the world's busiest global hub, while three Gulf airlines—Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Etihad—are scooping up passengers. Boarding a lavishly appointed Airbus A380 at Dubai's $4.5 billion Terminal 3, Graham Boynton examines the tectonic shift in aviation that threatens to leave the West's cramped, bare-bones carriers in the dust. [caption id="attachment_551" align="aligncenter" width="640"]
a380-dubai-international-airport[/caption] This is Dubai International Airport's $4.5 billion Terminal 3, the exclusive province of Emirates airline. Covering nearly 18.5 million square feet, it is the largest air terminal on the planet. Dubai International also ranks alongside Singapore's Changi, Hong Kong International, and Beijing Capital International as the most passenger-friendly. Every week from this airport's Jetways, 130 international airlines operate more than 6,000 flights to some 260 destinations on every continent except Antarctica. In January 2013, Dubai International opened Concourse A—aviation's first facility dedicated entirely to Airbus A380 superjumbos. Located in Terminal 3, it is a magnificent building. Huge first- and business-class lounges connect directly to the A380 upper decks; economy-class passengers board from the lower level. The new concourse has already increased Dubai's traffic to 75 million passengers a year, moving it past London's Heathrow as the world's busiest international airport. By 2018 that number is expecte.
