I predict an order for EI. They have opened up a new route to DXB what better place to announce the type of aircraft that are going to serve this route in the future. BTW Aer Lingus are just about all Airbus now.

What about Emirates possible A350 order. And the roumered SU order discussed last week. I know EI are also planning on getting more A320s (10 options held), so this could a good time for an announcement if EI want publicity for their new DUB - DXB route.
EI747SYDNEY,
I cant see EI ordering A350s (thats if they do even order Airbus) until proper financing is in place for a decent amount of aircraft. I would not be surprised to see EI order a couple of 332s (maybe cancelations from AC or NW) as Dermot Mannion said in an interview last week that he may well order a few additional long haul jets to fill the gap for the moment. Remember, with the SNN stopover being phased out from next Nov, EI will be looking at 3 additional American routes from DUB from this date. MIA, DFW and SFO are hot in the running.

Airbus expects to announce orders of A350s and A320s later this month - source
PARIS (AFX) - Airbus expects to announce several orders of its long-haul A350 and single-corridor A320 planes at the Dubai Aeronautical show later this month, according to a source close to the matter.
The source said that Airbus is expecting this to include new contracts, but added that some of these announcements are likely to concern the transformation into firm orders of already announced intentions to buy, such as those signed by Kuweit's ALAFCO, which signalled its intention to buy 12 A350s back in June.
Airbus is also in negotiations with Qatar Airways to convert 60 intentions to buy A350s into finalised orders, worth a total of around 10.6 bln usd, but according to the source, the chances of this happening in Dubai were "weaker."
An Airbus spokesperson would only confirm that the company expects "several orders announcements" in Dubai, without giving further details.

Quoting Numbertwelve (Reply 1): Maybe Gulf Air - they wanted to make fleet decisions end of this year.
GF is a good call as they could well order further A320's in addition to their current fleet, they may well go with the A350 too. Mr Hogan has been quite cautious and a mixed order could well be possible.
Quoting Numbertwelve (Reply 3): Quoting EI747SYDNEY (Reply 2):
Aer Lingus are just about all Airbus now.
So are EK, QR and Etihad.
EK have to be the prime candidate for a large A350 order whilst I expect QR to finalise their MoU for 60 A350s. Etihad could go either way. Let's not forget that even though the carriers you list have large Airbus commitment's their fleet planning does not see them as being all just about Airbus. EK have 30 + 9 773ERs on order, Etihad have 5 773ERs and QR will order a mix of 20 777s.
Dubai is shaping up to be very good for Airbus and Boeing.

AirLiban,
There would be considerable O&D to/from MIA and SFO and some from DFW. Florida is big as a holiday destination from DUB with a lot of Irish owning second homes there. There is a decent Irish population in San Fran (also a popular holiday destination in summer) and I think Dallas has a limited Irish American population too. I guess its the same situation with LAX. DUB has big potential for EUROPE-USA transfer traffic (esp from europe with the US immigration pre-clearance here) but DUB is an awful airport from this point of view as there is still no proper transfer channel in DUB.

But this is expected. Airbus loves these showes as the media is there. Airbus is going to pull all the major wins since the Paris show and put on a show. Just another thread stating the obvious. I think its more like if Airbus doesn't announce any than that would be a problem.
Boeing OTOH does not... like yesterdays lauch of the 748 even though they easily could have next week.

Quoting Danny (Reply 4): DUB airport is flooded with A350 commercials. Did they work?
Yep also noticed that myself when there this weekend, a hige billboard at roundabout just outside the airport and I saw 4 large ads in the Departures Hall. DM did say in the Sunday Tribune this Sunday that an order would be placed within the next 2 months. He also said he wants to double the fleet size in the coming years to 42 short haul and 14 long haul.

BoeingBus,
Im not expecting that many orders from Airbus for the A350 at Dubai. Most of the likely canditates dont seem to be at the stage where they are about to place orders. There should be some 787 orders also. I guss we will find out soon.

E.g. GECAS, Turkish Airlines, Aeroflot, Air Pacific, ILFC, Kuwait and Royal Jordanian are also in the market for A350's/787's.
Air Astana, Czech, Egypt Air, Gulf Traveler, Iran Air, Libya, Saudi Arabian, Sibir or Uzbekistan could also place orders for those aircraft.
For narrowbody's, Air Algerie, Europe Airpost, Norwegian Air Shuttle, Jat Airways, Aerosvit Airlines, Virgin Express, Bulgaria Air, Ukraine International Airlines, Air Baltic, Lithuanian Airlines, Tunis Air, Karthago Airlines, Maersk Air, Air Malta, Astraeus and Blue Panorama Airlines could decide for fleet renewal.
I think it is save to say I'm sure 1 of these will be there.

DFW makes sense for EI as they would be feeding into AA as part of the Oneworld alliance. AA would be able to feed lots of pax from the Southwest as well as central/south America same goes for MIA.
Quoting PanAm_DC10 (Reply 10): EK have to be the prime candidate for a large A350
I dont know why but I still have a gut felling that Boeing will pull a hail mary and get the EK order.

So are EK, QR and Etihad
EK, QR and Etihad have all ordered a large amount of 777NG's and EK has a huge 777 fleet. I dont know but in my book the 777 is made by Boeing, so stating that these are almost all airbus is a bunch of bull.
Quoting Thorben (Reply 14): He claims that Airbus has 200 orders for the A350 and that they'll have 800 orders for the whole year!
Leahy has got to share with everybody whatever the hell he's smoking.
I think that we will just see previously announced orders being converted to firm.

It's not surprising at all that Boeing announced the launch of the 747-8 , not at the DXB Air Show , but yesterday , since the A380 is really having a tremendous success with the public in its Asia Pacific tour , that it is very well in the Boeing manner to make announcement when Airbus is in the highlights.
Nothing wrong here , this is totally normal to proceed this way.That's the game !!!!!!! Just an establishing.
Being a lover of the 747 , i am happy this plane will stay alive for many years to come.

I think DXB is looking like it will be a bonanza for both OEMS. Boeing have stated in the media this week that although they don't wait to announce at airshows, that they basically will announce quite a few orders at DXB. A big EK 777 commitment appears a given.
Will be interesting to see how many truly " new" orders are announced and not firming up of earlier commitments or announcements of UFO customers.
Interesting that Airbus neglected to mention the A340(they have said the 380 likely won't get any more orders this year). The 340 has to win at one of CX/QF/SQ IMO and CX would be by far the best bet. If it can't win at CX then it's future orders rest with carriers such as CI/PR and follow-ons from existing customers.
