Emirates have just ordered another 32 Airbus A380s which now makes it the second largest long haul carrier in the world. This latest order is worth US$11.5 billion and brings the total number of Emirates A380s to a staggering 90 aircraft, which is roughly 40% of all world order for the aircraft. This order brings the total number of orders for the Airbus A380 to 234 from 17 different customers.

Emirates’ existing fleet of ten A380s currently serves London Heathrow, Toronto, Paris, Jeddah, Bangkok, Seoul, Sydney and Auckland. Beijing and Manchester are soon to be added to the schedule and the New York route will also be re-opened.
