With just one day remaining, the Dubai Airshow of this year has already shown to be a fascinating and thrilling week for all aviation lovers worldwide.

As the biannual event nears its conclusion, airlines, manufacturers, and industry leaders are putting the finishing touches on partnerships. From Boeing reestablishing the 737 MAX as a worthy competitor to Airbus’ dominance of the A320neo to some massive maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) contracts set to reshape the industry. Let's go over November 16 again.

15 more A350 aircraft for Emirates

Although its future fleet plans for its Boeing 777X and Airbus A380 have already been well established over the week After several days of talks, Dubai-based Emirates jumped in with an eleventh-hour deal with Airbus for 15 A350-900s, increasing its backlog to 65 Airbus A350 aircraft.

The news was mostly unnoticed since CEO Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum of Emirates and Airbus decided without hosting a formal signing ceremony to mark the milestone. Instead, they released a brief statement online.

We are happy to report that we have placed more orders for the A350-900, which will diversify our fleet. Our A350s will be put to use in a variety of new markets, including long-haul flights from Dubai that can take up to 15 hours to complete.

Social media users and journalists have drawn attention to the conspicuous lack of Airbus A350-1000s from the limited order, which is probably because of continuous problems with the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97. The airline president, Sir Tim Clark, attacked the Rolls-Royce engine during a roundtable earlier this week, saying the company had no interest in buying faulty aircraft and that it was "not doing what [Emirates] wants."Aw, hurt.
