Dubai: Airbus bagged two additional orders on Tuesday during the Dubai Airshow as Yemenia and Oman Air placed orders for wide-bodied aircraft.
Yemenia, the national carrier for Yemen, signed a firm contract for 10 Airbus A350 XWB, adding to what has become an impressive run for the extra wide bodied aircraft during the air show.
Yemenia currently has four A310s and two A330-200s in its long haul fleet.
Oman Air signed a firm contract with Airbus for five new aircraft from the A330 family, including three A330-300s and two A330-200s.
The carrier has not announced whether it would use engines from Rolls-Royce or GE.
