DUBAI: Dubai-based airline Emirates is set to receive its last three A380 aircraft in November, six months earlier than the original target delivery.
The final order will bring the airline’s A380 fleet to 118, the world’s largest.
“We’ve come to an agreement with Airbus to bring forward the delivery of our remaining A380 orders and have secured financing for these units,” Emirates President Tim Clark said in a statement.
Airbus previously said it would discontinue its production of the aircraft after the Dubai airline reduced its order.
The European rival to Boeing was also pressured by changing demand in air travel, which has seen more passengers opting for point-to-point service in smaller jets.
