FlyDubai says it has ordered 75 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in a $13 billion deal.

FlyDubai, the lower-cost sister airline to long-haul carrier Emirates, has announced an order for 150 Airbus A321neo aircraft at the Dubai Air Show — an estimated $24 billion purchase that will see the carrier for the first time expand its fleet beyond Boeing.

The Dubai Air Show has opened, with hometown airline Emirates ordering 65 Boeing 777-9 aircraft as the carrier looks to increase its fleets off record earnings and unending demand for flights through this East-West travel hub.

The airline Emirates says it will purchase 15 additional Airbus A350-900s worth $6 billion after a spat between it and the European manufacturer went unusually public during this week’s Dubai Air Show.

Long-haul carrier Emirates says it will buy Boeing Co. aircraft in a deal worth $52 billion.

The group owning long-haul carrier Emirates saw record-breaking half-year profits of $1.2 billion this year.

The chairman of the Middle East’s largest airlines says its passenger levels plummeted by 70% last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
