Emirates's Record A380 Jet Order Is `Not Enough,' Clark Says - Bloomberg

Emirates, the world’s biggest airline by international traffic, said its order for 90 Airbus SAS A380 superjumbos won’t be enough to take up the demand for its services.

The jets on order “are well spoken for and frankly, the way things are going for us at the moment, the 90 certainly won’t be enough,” President Tim Clark said in a phone interview today. “Demand for our services seems to be continuing to grow apace. We’re moving forward very robustly.”

The carrier, already the biggest customer for Airbus’s 517- seat plane, has expanded its traffic growth sixfold in the last decade by connecting international passengers through its Dubai hub. Emirates is also the biggest operator of Boeing Co.’s 777 long-range jet.
