They indicated that the deal could be announced at the Dubai Airshow starting on Monday. The sources noted that the deal has not yet been finalized. The state-owned airline may split the order or decide to choose Boeing entirely again. Dubai Airlines currently only operates aircraft from this American company, but delays in receiving 737 narrow-body aircraft have forced the airline to consider other options. The sources said that Dubai Airlines CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith visited Airbus's headquarters in Toulouse, France, a few weeks ago and discussed the scale and pricing of potential purchases with executives. The sources mentioned that the airline had previously engaged in in-depth discussions with Airbus but ultimately backed out. If a formal agreement is reached this time, it would mark the first time in its 17-year history that the airline has turned to other manufacturers instead of Boeing"
