LONDON--Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC (RR.LN) said its order book
will fall by about 3.5% or 2.6 billion pounds ($4.4 billion) after
airline Emirates cancelled an order for 70 A350 aircraft.
"While disappointed with this decision, we are confident that
the delivery slots which start towards the end of this decade
vacated by Emirates will be taken up by other airlines," said
Rolls-Royce Wednesday.
"Demand for the Airbus A350 remains strong, with more than 700
aircraft and 1,400 Trent XWB engines already sold," it added.
