At the Dubai Airshow, Middle East carriers, particularly Emirates, are expected to place significant orders for long-haul jets, boosting confidence in Boeing's 777X despite delays. A potential order for 90 Boeing 777X jets, valued around $40 billion, is on the horizon. The show may also see flyDubai ordering more Boeing 737 MAX jets. Meanwhile, Turkish Airlines is in talks to buy up to 355 Airbus jets, intensifying competition. The impact of the Israel-Hamas war on travel demand and the possibility of arms deals amid the conflict add complexity to the aerospace event.
