Oct 13, 2010 (newstodate): For many airlines, financing and economics constitute the bottlenecks for expansion.
Not so for the Gulf carrier Emirates that has so far placed orders for a delivery of a total of 90 Airbus A380 aircraft.
The carrier had actually planned for a total of 120 mega-Jumbos - but does not have sufficient space at its home base at Dubai to handle them, the airline's CEO told press.
So far, Emirates has taken delivery of its 12th Airbus A380.
