Good News for Boeing
This order should sustain thousands of US jobs and hopefully some in the UK 
Dubai Airshow: Emirates places 'record' Boeing order
Quote:
Dubai-based Emirates Airlines has ordered 50 long-range Boeing 777 passenger aircraft in an order worth about $18bn (£11.2bn) at list prices.
The carrier's chairman and chief executive, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum said it was the single largest dollar-value order for Boeing aircraft.
"This order represents a milestone," he said after announcing the contract at the Dubai Airshow.
Emirates has also placed options for more jets, worth another $8bn.
The latest announcement take Emirates' firm orders of the long-range aircraft to 90.
Emirates, one of the world's fastest growing carriers, last year placed an order for 30 Boeing 777 planes worth $9.1bn in a deal announced at the UK's Farnborough Airshow.
