FLEET - Emirates' Fleet Will Change In Five Years

Emirates has had a relatively simple fleet consisting of Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s, but this will change as they introduce new aircraft types like the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787.

The airline's fleet used to be more diverse, with multiple aircraft types, including Airbus A330s and A340s, but these have been phased out over the years.

Emirates has a significant number of new aircraft on order, including 50 Airbus A350-900s, 115 Boeing 777Xs, and 30 Boeing 787-9s, which will add complexity to their fleet composition.

New aircraft types are on Emirates' horizon. This will re-introduce levels of diversity and fleet complexity not seen by the airline since the mid-2010s.
So, what's on Emirates' order book at the moment? Well, in terms of future passenger aircraft, data from ch-aviation.com states that the carrier has the following aircraft on its order books:

50 Airbus A350-900
115 Boeing 777X
30 787-9

Airbus A350-900s: An Emirates statement in January 2022 regarding an onboard broadband deal noted that the A350 is scheduled to enter service sometime in 2024. Months later, a Reuters report specified that the first delivery would come in August 2024, "more than a year later than initially announced.""
Boeing 787-9s: As per One Mile At A Time, the o"cial timeline for the 787s sees the first airframe arriving in 2024. However, Emirates President Tim Clark says that he doesn't anticipate the planes to be delivered until 2025.
