Emirates purchases 1000th Boeing 777
Emirates has added the 1000th 777 aircraft built by Boeing to their fleet.
The 1,000th 777 in Boeing's Everett plant
The 102nd Boeing 777 to be added to the fleet was launched at the manufacturer's plant in Everett in Washington State.
More than 5,000 Boeing employees, suppliers and government officials, including His Highness (H.H.) Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline & Group, a delegation of dignitaries from the UAE and senior Emirates executives attended the ceremony.
"Emirates is honoured to be the recipient of Boeing's 1000th 777, an aircraft whose advanced, long range capacity has been instrumental to our success in becoming a truly global airline," said H.H. Sheikh Ahmed. "Emirates is already the world's largest operator of the Boeing 777 and our order for an additional 93 is further testament to our belief in the product and the role this aircraft will play as we build our fleet for tomorrow and further establish Dubai's position as one of the world's leading air travel hubs."
Emirates flies to 122 destinations worldwide. In addition to the 1,000th Boeing 777 passenger aircraft, Emirates also received a Boeing 777 freighter, the eighth to join its fleet, on 1 March 2012.
Emirates operates flights on a daily schedule from Malta to Dubai via Larnaka, Cyprus.

Wrong Title.."Emirates’ fleet reaches 1,000"
The launch of the Emirates Boeing 777 has brought the fleet up to 1000 aircrafts.
Should say : Boeing Fleet Reaches 1000th 777 sold...
It would be nice if emirates reached 1000 aircrafts.....
