His main interesting comment about the 'delivery of aircraft on time and on budget, the things Emirates had to put 200 aircraft through maintenance and upgrade as Boeing 777X was taking too long, extending leases and buy aircraft at a cost of $3bn to meet the network expansion plans. We need the OEMs and supply chain to come with us'...'they have had it never had it as good, as far as what is coming at them in terms of demand, we just need delivery.' Concerns about the OEM and supply chain were raised with Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 maintenance issues for Virgin causing pain. It means reliability needs further cost, and challenges the business model. It requires a focus on customers first. #Airlines #IATAAGM #safety #SupplyChain
