Emirates and flyDubai place jet orders

DUBAI, Nov 13 (Reuters): Dubai's Emirates placed an order for 90 more Boeing 777X jets at the opening of the Dubai Airshow on Monday, including both variants of the future long-haul jet.

The world's largest international carrier also added five more Boeing 787s to an existing order, saying the total package of new widebody jets was worth over $50 billion at list prices.

Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, chairman and CEO of Emirates airline, said the deal would power Dubai's growth plans and reflected its commitment to the future of aviation.
