Emirates said Monday it has placed an order for 65 additional Boeing 777-9 aircraft, worth $38 billion at list prices, on the opening day of Dubai Airshow 2025.
Emirates is Boeing’s largest customer in terms of wide-body jets, and today’s announcement takes the airline’s total orderbook with Boeing to 315 widebody aircraft.
It marks “a massive long-term commitment to U.S. aerospace manufacturing, generating support for hundreds of thousands of high value manufacturing jobs in the U.S. over the life of the programmes,” Emirates said in a statement on Monday.
The move is expected to be welcomed by the Trump Administration, which is pushing companies abroad to invest in the U.S. Boeing jets frequently feature in trade deals struck by the administration. South Korea, Japan, the U.K., Malaysia, and Indonesia have all placed large orders for Boeing aircrafts as part of trade negotiations.
The Boeing 777-9 aircraft is powered by GE 9X engines and it brings Emirates’ orderbook with GE Aerospace for GE9X engines to a total of 540 units, according to a company statement.
