Emirates says “NO” to Airbus A350! What’s WRONG???
After the Paris Air Show in June 2023, which is more likely a competition between the two aircraft manufacturing giants, Airbus, as the winner, went home happy with 830 on a total of 1100 orders from carriers. However, the situation was reversed as soon as the Dubai Air Show took place in November of the same year, in which Boeing chalked up 295 aircraft orders, three times more than Airbus’ 86. And the shocking point was about the poor order of the A3 50 with particularly no order for the latest and largest variant, the A3 50-1000. Even a such giant like Emirates Airlines, which is always looking for bigger aircraft, humbly ordered only the smaller version, the A3 50-900, with 15 units. Ethiopian Airlines and EgyptAir also made their decision to buy respectively 11 and 10 units of the A3 50 but they were all about the -900 variant.
Emirates says “NO” to Airbus A350! What’s WRONG??? So, where did the A3 50, especially the -1000, go wrong? Let’s find out in today’s episode!

Emirates says “NO” to Airbus A350! What’s WRONG??? At first glance, it seems like this is not a big deal and Airbus wouldn’t get any damage at all since their sales are still going up, evidenced by the orders they received for the -900 model. But when looking closer at the competition between Boeing and Airbus in terms of fulfilling airlines’ demands, it would be a completely different situation. For those airlines that are operating from a single big airport hub like Emirates and some other Gulf airlines, really big jets are necessary for them to make full use of their hub capacity and maintain the number of aircraft arrivals and departures at manageable levels.

ANY very high performance engine operating in sandy conditions requires extra maintenance. Not a problem for other countries.

Both RR Trent-XWB 84 & 97 are the worlds most efficient turbines, they also have incredible despatch reliability numbers that is why the A350 is so popular, it is providing efficient & reliable power to a light & beautifully made airframe that airlines what & need if they are to turn a profit & remain in business. A350-1000 ( RR T-XWB-97 ) has had many recent orders by airlines wanting to replace ageing B777 aircraft because they have knowledge from airlines who already have had great success with this model like Qatar, BA, Virgin, & Cathay. Because one airline exec doesn`t like this engine for his own reasons won`t mean this engine will not be successful as the order-book for this aircraft will make it very successful regardless. Along with awful delays to B777X & RR`s commitment to invest many millions into improving the durability of all their engines it could be argued that Emirates could be making a critical mistake in not spreading the risk in the replacement of their ageing aircraft as AB`s order-book is filling-up quickly. Airlines such as Etihad, JAL, KLM, EVA, Delta, & Korean have had the foresight to understand this situation.

Hope there choice of the 777X works for them. Since it's not certified yet, only one engine option that is also new and still need to proof itself in the long run... Would be a bummer if the A350-1000 proofs to be the better choice in a few years from now.
-
“It’s not Safety, but it’s engine / efficiency “ meaning in Emirates Air, Money is more important than your life.
-
This news is at least 9 months old, and Boeing still doesn't have a 777-X to take advantage of the situation. If RR can sweet talk Emirates (or actually address his concerns) before the 777-X gets certified, or if Airbus finally agrees to NEOfy Emirates' A380 fleet, then this issue is gone.
-
Dude update your Title, they have more than 60 A350-900 on order.....
-
If this was just released 2 weeks ago then it is both "old" news and has now been shown as false news as Emirates has announced they are buying a good number of the A350, both 900 and 1000 variants.... very poor reporting. Emirates have said they dont expect the Boeing 777X to be ready for delivery by 2026 as wanted and promised by Boeing.
-
Emirate ordered 65 of A350 and due delivery this year..
-
I went on A350-900 and 1000 last month. Have to say a very nice aircraft. Pretty quiet especially compared to 777. Decent space too for economy Cathay Pacific
-
This is opposite of whats in the news.
-
its incredible how many people have no idea of emirates A350 orders. First one is in the paint shop. there's more to it than the engine issue its about aircraft capacity, pilots type ratings and also Boeing dropping their pants desperately to get/keep an order.

This video didn't age well

Clark seems to have a problem with RR engines and its been going on for over 20 years, Emirates A380's use AA 7200 rather than the Trent engines from RR. The A350's only come with RR engines. Other carriers do not seem to have the problems that Clark points to. I like the A350 to travel on and if Emirates go to Boeing then I will look elsewhere to fly

2000 to 2000 cycles ;-) 5:58 If a human was reading and speaking this into a microphone, a human would detect the error ;-) So it's a robovoice ;-)
-
Well not anymore now they have the a350
-
If I were the CEO of either Airbus or Boeing, I would care. But I'm not. I'm an aviation fanboy. I love both.
-
I am sure that Airbus will not file bankruptcies when Emirates doesn't buy the A350. Beside this Emirates is not under pressure to replace the A380...
-
Great video !! But in the future, you should add like a "goodbye sentence" in the end of the video.
-
Emirates ordered 65 A350-900, this is not a small amount
-
The Boeing cult vs the Airbus cult. Relax guys....love them all.
