Emirates Said to Be in Talks to Buy 50 Airbus A380 Superjumbos - Bloomberg:
"Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, is in talks with Airbus SAS to purchase as many as 50 A380 superjumbos, people familiar with the negotiations said.
The order, valued at about $20 billion at list price, may be signed as early as today as the Dubai Air Show kicks off, said the people, who asked not to be named because details are private. Emirates President Tim Clark has said previously that he would like to buy about 30 additional A380s.
A transaction of that size would be a record for the A380, which was at risk of ending 2013 without a deal. Instead, Airbus can now make the year the most successful for its superjumbo should leasing company Doric firm up its plan to buy 20 units, which it announced in June. Emirates is already the biggest customer for the Airbus flagship with orders for 90 jets and had taken delivery of 38 by the end of October."
