SAS Scandinavia Airlines is exploring a potential widebody order with Boeing and Airbus, according to Bloomberg. CEO Anko van der Werff has hinted at a large order to meet growing demand for long-haul travel.
Emirates has ordered eight additional Airbus A350-900 aircraft at the Dubai Airshow 2025, expanding its long-term commitment to the type. The agreement is valued at $3.
The 2025 Dubai Airshow closed with Airbus leading in total commitments, driven by Gulf and African carriers. Boeing secured the largest single deal with Emirates' new widebody purchase, while regional manufacturers like Embraer and De Havilland Canada secured strategic wins.
Delta Air Lines has placed a firm order for 31 Airbus widebody aircraft as part of its fleet renewal strategy, targeting long-haul growth markets across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the South Pacific. The order includes 16 A330-900s and 15 A350-900s, with deliveries expected to begin in early 2027.
China Airlines has approved a major fleet modernization plan valued at $7.852 billion, authorizing the acquisition of 18 new widebody aircraft including five Airbus A350-1000s, five Boeing 777-9s, and four 777-8 freighters. The carrier will retire four Boeing 747-400 freighters as part of the strategic plan.
Air Europa and Airbus have finalized a Memorandum of Understanding for 40 A350-900s at Fitur in Madrid. The agreement is expected to accelerate the replacement of older widebodies and strengthen Air Europa's position on transatlantic routes.
