The coronavirus pandemic has crushed demand for twin-aisle aircraft built to cross oceans, and orders for widebodies such as the 777X, 787 and Airbus models are expected to be the last to recover from the slump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emirates has the world&#8217;s largest fleet of long-haul aircraft, consisting of the Airbus A380 and Boeing 777.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related
