Emirates Airlines has ordered 30 new Airbus A380 aircraft, with deliveries scheduled between 2023 and 2028. The double-decker A380 is one of the world's largest airliners, able to carry over 500 passengers in a three-class configuration or over 800 passengers in an all-economy layout. The new A380s will allow Emirates to replace older aircraft and strengthen its position as the world's largest operator of the A380.
