Letecká společnost Emirates Airline je „frustrovaným subjektem“ kvůli nedostatku letadel, uvedl ve středu prezident dopravce a dodal, že by nyní měla 85člennou flotilu letadel Boeing 777-9X, kdyby je výrobce letadel byl schopen dodat včas.
„Jak víte, jsme expanzionisté. A máme přistřižená křídla,“ řekl Tim Clark novinářům na akci u příležitosti dodání prvního letadla Airbus A350 společnosti Emirates.
Emirates, největší letecká společnost na Blízkém východě, stále častěji vyjadřuje nespokojenost se zpožděním a nejistotou, které sužují dodávky letadel 777-9X a které ještě zhoršila několikatýdenní stávka zaměstnanců továrny Boeing.
Na otázku, zda se v souvislosti se zpožděním plánuje přehodnocení objednávek, Clark odpověděl, že společnost pouze počká a uvidí.
„Doufám, že s 21 miliardami dolarů, které do společnosti právě vložili, a s ukončením stávky budou nyní během několika příštích měsíců pracovat na tom, aby vyřešili, co budou dělat. Sledujeme to velmi pozorně,“ řekl.
Nový generální ředitel Boeingu v říjnu uvedl, že výrobce letadel sdělil zákazníkům, že očekává první dodávku letounu 777X v roce 2026, a to kvůli problémům při vývoji, přestávce v letových zkouškách a zastavení práce.
Clark rovněž uvedl, že nová letadla Airbus A350 budou hnacím motorem další fáze růstu společnosti Emirates a umožní jí uvažovat o nových destinacích.
