Emirates cancels order for 70 Airbus A350s
Dubai's Emirates Airline has
cancelled an order for 70 of Airbus's A350 wide-bodied aircraft, the planemaker
says.
Airbus said the cancellation had followed "ongoing discussions with the airline in light of their fleet requirement review".
In 2007, Emirates placed 50 orders for the A350-900 and 20 for the A350-1000, with deliveries due from 2019.
UK engine maker Rolls-Royce said the cancellation would lead to a £2.6bn hit to its order book.
"While disappointed with this decision, we are confident that the delivery slots which start towards the end of this decade vacated by Emirates will be taken up by other airlines," Rolls-Royce said.
