Emirates, the world's largest operator of 777 aircraft, has placed an order for 95 Boeing widebody jets worth $52 billion, including 90 777X airplanes and five additional 787 Dreamliners. The order will increase Emirates' 777X family backlog to 205 jets and aligns with the airline's strategy of connecting cities non-stop to Dubai. The 777X offers improved cabin features, fuel efficiency, and payload capacity, while the 787 Dreamliner order has been adjusted to better match future capacity demands.
