The Real Reason Emirates Wants Airbus A350 Over Boeing

Emirates' order of the Airbus A350 has been a remarkable one, with the first Emirates A350 flight having just happened. As a big user of the Boeing 777, this order by Emirates wasn't entirely expected. Or was it? What is the real reason Emirates wanted the Airbus A350?

Congratulations, Emirates and Airbus. Beautiful aircraft.

The 350 is wonderful. Great strategy from Emirates.

Great and also right move by Emirates

Tim Clark is to blame. He delayed and delayed, putting his trust in Boeing despite repeated disappointments.

Wait a minutes, did Emirates cancel BOEING 777X or not as Emirates wants AIRBUS A350 over BOEING much like QANTAS and KLM that choose AIRBUS over BOEING ?

Just been on the 777 300 er it's cramped and noisy feels very dated especially having just been on the a380 to dubai, seats very narrow, airbus is way ahead of boeing a350 is also far superior to any boeing aircraft including the 787 which is probably the best in the boeing line up, can't see them ever catching airbus now

Boeing choose profit over safety. Their manufacturing is questionable now.

Don't forget they have always operated Airbus aircraft with the A310, A300, A330, A340

[stefankeil]

Seriously, the A380 and A350 are the nicest and best airplanes on the market. Why would anybody want to fly a Boing anymore 😂

[Easterhazy]

It is not the cabin pressure which is lower it's the cabin altitude!

[BinyMemi]

I think you forgot that they have 787 orders

[weprinfilms]

They might have chosen the 777 of the new 777X was available. But it still is not.

[rogersyin]

Is your name Tim Clerk? If not, you don’t know the real reason. Your guess is as bad as everyone else’s guess. So stop post junk video to make profit.

[mikeblickfeldt]

You are "dancing" around the big White Elephant in the room; why not covert some 777X orders over to Boeing Dreamliners? Boeing was the first to introduce all of the features you mentioned in your claims of the A350.

I don’t believe any of this BS ! I been flying on this aircraft for a long time, but every time they say that they completely redesigned the plane on the inside, is an other BS ! They all look the same, like before! I haven’t seen any of those futuristic interiors what they showing in magazines or videos like this ! They know that the 777x will be a big hit !!!!
