An Emirates’ A380 has become the 6,000th Airbus aircraft to roll off the production line in Hamburg, as the award-winning international airline continues to weather the financial storm and thrusts ahead with its ambitious expansion plans. Emirates was the first carrier to order the double-decker and boasts the world’s largest order of Airbus A380s -- representing 30 percent of the total orders. Eight have now been handed over with a further 50 awaiting delivery. Emirates currently has 55 Airbus aircraft in their fleet with a further 121 on order, worth more than $35 billion. Emirates celebrated the handing over of its eighth double-decker and the launch of Airbus’ 6,000th aircraft with more than 200 VIP guests including football stars, politicians and representatives from the aviation industry during a ceremony at Airbus’ delivery center in Hamburg last week.
