(MENAFN) Dubai-based Emirates Airline said it would be interested in joining an even bigger aircraft capable of carrying up to 800 passengers, Arabian Business reported.
Executive vice president Adel Al Redha affirmed that there will be more demand for higher-capacity aircraft, purely driven by the capacity and congestion at airports and airspace.
Emirates operates 26 Airbus A380 aircraft, which has the capacity to transport 517 passengers, in its fleet, and has a further 64 on order, making it the largest operator of the superjumbo model.
Al Redha said the carrier would be interested in larger aircraft if they were available, but conceded manufacturers were a decade away from developing such technology.
