Emirates President Tim Clark said he’s keeping a close eye on Boeing Co. after the US company consistently missed delivery targets with its aircraft, suggesting one of the manufacturer’s biggest customers is running out of patience.

Emirates Airline is a "frustrated entity" because of a lack of planes, the carrier's president said on Wednesday, adding that it would now have an 85-strong fleet of Boeing 777-9X jets if the planemaker had been able to deliver them on time.

Emirates has officially unveiled the very first Airbus A350-900 to join its fleet at an exclusive event showcase in Dubai.

After months of feverish anticipation, the wait is finally over after Emirates officially unveiled its brand new (and first ever) Airbus A350.

Emirates marks an important fleet milestone with the delivery of its first Airbus A350 aircraft. A6-EXA is the first of 65 A350 aircraft to be delivered to the airline over the course of the next few years.
