"We're investing in new freighter aircraft to meet surging demand and provide our customers around the world with even more flexibility, connectivity, and options to leverage market opportunity," HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, chairman and CEO of Emirates Airline and Group, said.
"I fail to see how Boeing can make any meaningful forecasts of delivery dates," Clark said in a statement to Business Insider.
Emirates' recent order for five Boeing 777 freighters reflects its strategy to expand freight capabilities despite ongoing frustrations with Boeing's delays on passenger jets.
The timing of Emirates' new order is noteworthy, coming less than a week after their chairman criticized Boeing's management for multiple delays.
