Emirates firms up $16 billion order for A380 superjumbos

Emirates firms up $16 billion order for A380 superjumbos:

"Emirates signed a contract on Sunday to buy as many as 36 Airbus (AIR.PA) A380 aircraft worth as much as $16 billion at list prices, firming up an order that is crucial to the future of the world’s biggest passenger jet.

The order, for 20 of the double-decker planes with an option for 16 more, was originally announced on a provisional basis in mid-January. Deliveries are to start as soon as in 2020, the Dubai-based carrier said.

Airbus had previously said it would have to end production of the A380 if it failed to secure the huge Emirates deal."
