Airbus SE (OTC:EADSF) won an additional order for 15 A350-900s aircraft from Emirates Airlines at the Dubai Airshow. With this new order, Emirates Airlines' total order is 65 aircraft. 

The move came after Airbus reportedly faced a setback from Emirates at the Dubai Airshow, where the UAE-based airline reportedly ruled out an immediate contract to purchase Airbus A350-1000 jets on Tuesday, accusing a dispute with engine maker Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC (OTC:RYCEY)(OTC:RYCEF) over the durability of its engines and leaving the European planemaker without a significant showcase order.

HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group said, "The A350-900s will add to our fleet mix and we are pleased to announce additional orders for this aircraft type. We plan to deploy our A350s to serve a range of new markets including long-haul missions of up to 15 hours flying time from Dubai. We will work closely with Airbus and Rolls-Royce to ensure our aircraft deliver the best possible operating efficiency and flying experience for our customers."

Also this month, Airbus inked a deal for 11 additional A350-900s aircraft with Ethiopian Airlines Group. Moreover, EGYPTAIR ordered 10 A350-900s aircraft from Airbus.
