Emirates Airline on Monday said it will buy 50 Airbus 350-900 aircraft, powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines, in a deal worth $16 billion.

 

"I am happy to announce we are purchasing 50 Airbus 350 for $16 billion," the carrier's chairman and CEO Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum said at a press conference at the Dubai Airshow.
