From the article: No they did not. EK ordered 50 A380's instead. Just What else can he say. "I traded the 350 for the 380 for our biggest customer"??. He will never, ever admit to that. Just my two cents.....

IT makes sense up to that 50x380 is considerably more money that 50x359+20x351
I still do not believe EK will live with 773/W their smallest plane - wonder what will happen in Farnborough ?

Leahy is the greatest commercial aircraft sales guy in the history of the industry...he is so far beyond what this industry has ever experienced. I don't have a clue on what his next move will be...master of the game that guy is.....

I want to believe what Amedeo says, but I wish they start making a small part of what they said come true !

"An airline that could take three A380s for use on just a single specific route"...
3 A380... Europe-Oceania? South America-Asia via Pacific? Imagination runs fast!!
