Emirates airline sees more opportunities to fly in Europe | Reuters:



"Emirates airline [EMIRA.UL] sees an opportunity to increase direct flights from Europe to cities other than its Dubai hub, but its chief executive said he is concerned about harming struggling European carriers.



Emirates also is actively considering a large purchase of Airbus (AIR.PA) A350 aircraft and Boeing (BA.N) 787s to replace older Boeing 777 widebody aircraft that will begin retiring in 2017.



"We're just concluding our performance assessments," of the Airbus (AIR.PA) and Boeing (BA.N) aircraft, Clark said in an interview following a speech in New York. He declined to say when the airline would place orders."
