Emirates says may slow down plane deliveries

Dubai-based Emirates airline may slow down deliveries of its plane orders from next year, its president said on Tuesday.

"We are looking at slowing some...maybe next year," Tim Clark told Reuters on the sidelines of the International Air Transport Association annual meeting in Kuala Lumpur.

Emirates, which has a $55 billion order book for planes from Boeing and Airbus, expects to receive about 10 planes a year.
