Hi,
Emirates announced it’s order for the 3XX, Will Emirates be the first airline to own it or is it somebody else?

RE: First A3XX??
The answer to this depends on the contract. There is great prestige in being a launch customer and first to take delivery BUT the airline’s needs might allow an earlier delivery slot for a later customer.
Again, there may already be a deal with Air France that IF they order the A3XX by a certain date, they will have the first delivery (not necessarily the first off the line) and if such an understanding exists, this would have been revealed in negotiations with other airlines

What about Virgin or Air France?
