Emirates Air has ordered 50 more 777 airliners from Boeing for a record 18 billion dollars.The deal includes an option for 20 more 777s,which would bring the total cost up to 26 billion.At the same time,Oman has ordered six Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
Jeff Johnson,President of Boeing Middle East,says Emirates Air aims for global aviation domination.We're sold out for years to come.They want the technology.The Middle East sets the standard for wanting this technology.
The Middle East also hungers for military aircraft.There are big air bases in Qatar,Kuwait and Bahrain.These countries want interoperability with the U.S. military.A 60 billion dollar U.S. arms deal with Saudi Arabia is influenced by the fear of Iran,Mr.Johnson noted.
