Dubai: Emirates will receive its first A380 jets in the first half of next year, some three months late.
"Of course the delay in receiving the Airbus A380 will have a negative impact on our expansion plan in some areas, but Emirates can cope with that by revising its schedules on the basis of its priorities in order to obtain the best results," said Ghaith Al Ghaith, Emirates Executive Vice-President for Commercial Operations Worldwide.
The Dubai carrier has placed the largest single order for the new superjumbo, planning to acquire up to 43.
