Emirates<\/a>\u00a0has ordered eight Airbus A350s on the third day of the Dubai Airshow, while\u00a0flydubai<\/a> has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for up to 150 Boeing<\/a> 737 MAX jets.<\/p>\n Moreover,\u00a0Airbus<\/a>\u00a0also received orders<\/span> from Buraq Air and Silk Way West Airlines for A320neo and A350F freighters, respectively.<\/p>\n Just 24 hours after announcing an MoU with Airbus<\/a> for 150 A321neos, flydubai<\/a> has now signed another MoU with Boeing<\/a> for up to 150 Boeing 737 MAX jets. This includes 75 firm orders and 75 options.<\/p>\n Rather than signalling a shift in allegiance, the back-to-back announcements underscore the aim for fleet diversification, delivery security, and long-term growth positioning in a market where slots are becoming increasingly scarce.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are proud to place another 737 MAX order with Boeing\u2026Reliable aircraft availability and timely deliveries are vital to the ongoing growth of our industry, and this agreement ensures we remain well-positioned for future growth, adding to the fleet as well as replacing current aircraft,\u201d said His Highness Sheikh\u00a0Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of flydubai, commenting on the milestone announcement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The agreement also marks an important moment for Boeing, landing a significant narrowbody commitment from one of the 737 MAX\u2019s earliest operators. flydubai has quickly become one of the most active airlines of the entire Dubai Airshow 2025.<\/p>\n Emirates<\/a>\u00a0has placed an additional order for eight Airbus<\/a> A350-900s, valued at US$3.4 billion, further expanding its future widebody pipeline. While many in the industry were anticipating an eventual order for the A350-1000, the airline instead topped up the -900 variant.<\/p>\n \t<\/p>\n This order brings the airline\u2019s total A350-900 commitment to 73 aircraft, complementing the 13 units already delivered since the type entered service with the carrier last November. <\/p>\n Moreover, deliveries of the newly ordered jets are expected to begin in 2031, with the aim of supporting Emirates\u2019 long-term network growth and product evolution.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Emirates A350\u2019s entry into service last November has given us welcome additional capacity. It has also enabled us to introduce Emirates\u2019 latest inflight products to more customers, including our popular Premium Economy seats,\u201d said HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The A350 has provided Emirates with extra flexibility on medium- and long-haul routes, enabling the rollout of its new-generation cabin products, including the fast-growing Premium Economy offering. This order follows the airline\u2019s additional Boeing<\/a> 777-9 commitment earlier in the week, raising Emirates\u2019 orderbook to 375 next-generation widebodies.<\/p>\n Buraq Air, Libya\u2019s first private airline, has signed an MoU for 10 Airbus<\/a> A320neo Family aircraft, marking a major step in the carrier\u2019s fleet renewal strategy and making it a new Airbus customer. <\/p>\n This agreement aims to support the airline\u2019s plan to modernise its narrowbody fleet and strengthen its position in the recovering Libyan aviation market.<\/p>\n The A320neo will become a key part of Buraq Air\u2019s future network strategy as the airline expands its regional operations. The aircraft will also provide a unified platform to deepen cooperation with Medsky Airways, enabling both airlines to align schedules and expand joint connectivity.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are delighted to welcome Buraq Air as a new Airbus customer of the A320 Family and we thank them for their confidence. This agreement reinforces the A320neo as the aircraft of choice for fleet modernisation and we are dedicated to supporting Buraq\u2019s Air strategic expansion plan\u201d said Benoit de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n At the end of October 2025, the A320neo Family has won over 11,300 orders from 150 customers worldwide.<\/p>\n Silk Way West Airlines has signed a firm order for two additional Airbus<\/a> A350F freighters, bringing its total commitment for the type to four aircraft. The Baku-based carrier, already the largest cargo airline in the Caspian region, continues to accelerate its fleet renewal strategy.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are delighted to extend our partnership with Airbus on the A350F programme.The A350F will strengthen our leading position in the global air freight market as we continue to modernise our fleet and reduce our carbon footprint,\u201d said Wolfgang Meier, President of Silk Way West Airlines.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nflydubai Signs MoU for up to 150 Boeing 737 MAX Jets<\/h2>\n
