Emirates may increase plane order

Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum, Chairman of Emirates Airline, has said the carrier plans to order more than 12 planes to meet rising demand, Bloomberg has reported. 'I know that we announced something like 10 to 12 aircraft, but we are maybe looking at more than that number,' Sheikh Ahmed told the news service. Emirates will sell shares in an initial public offering 'one day', although the timing of the sale will be decided by the government and subject to market conditions, he added.
