Emirates lands fleet financing - The National

Emirates Airline has lined up financing for the delivery of billions of dollars' worth of new aircraft and is set to tap the bond market for more cash in the near future.

The cash injection comes as the airline prepares to accelerate its fleet expansion as it receives more Airbus A380 superjumbos and Boeing 777-300ERs, putting new demands on its financing abilities.

The Dubai airline completed lending terms with three foreign banks for the financing of 10 of the wide-bodied, long-haul jets from Airbus and Boeing, worth US$3 billion (Dh11.01bn) at list prices before standard industry discounts.
