Emirates, the biggest operator of the Boeing Co. (BA) 777, is pressing for more information about a successor aircraft before considering an order for the replacement of the U.S. manufacturer’s bestselling airliner.
“We’re working closely to get to specifications we’re happy with,” Emirates President Tim Clark said in an interview in Paris today. “That means layouts, the seats, the galleys, getting the weights right, getting the fuel burn.”
Clark has said he may need as many as 275 777s for replacement and expansion, a requirement so large his airline is likely to become the so-called launch customer of the successor plane. While Emirates is more advanced in talks with Boeing than other carriers, it doesn’t expect to be ready to table an order at the Paris Air Show in June, Clark said.
