篇章：阿酋航空取消70架A350客机定单 Dubai s Emirates Airline has cancelled an order for 70 of Airbus s A350 wide-bodied aircraft, the planemaker says. 迪拜阿酋国际航空公司取消了一份与空中巴士的定单，该定单包含70架A350宽体客机。 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. A spokesperson for Emirates said the airline was reviewing our fleet requirements . Game changing Airbus said it was confident that new orders in the coming months would compensate for the Emirates cancellation. There s no impact on the programme as deliveries were scheduled to start at the end of the decade, a spokesman said. In a statement, the company said it was very confident in its A350 XWB programme, adding that it had 742 firm orders and it expected the order book to continue growing in 2014. |
