Germany enjoys a multi-billion euro relationship with Emirates, dating back to 1987 when the first Airbus aircraft joined our fleet.
Emirates is currently the biggest buyer of the Airbus A380 and one of the largest customers for the A350 aircraft. Emirates’ total orders have helped support many thousands of German jobs at Airbus and via its suppliers in Germany.
The A380 programme alone is estimated to add some 20,000 direct German jobs - and at least the same number of indirect jobs.
