BERLIN, March 5 (Reuters) - Emirates Airline will spend around 5 billion dollars on refitting 220 of its aircraft in order to sustain its network, President Tim Clark said on Wednesday, as the industry struggles with delivery delays for newer jets.
"We have no choice....This one is the only way we could sustain the network, grow the network," Clark told reporters.
Clark said that the airline is not optimistic about Boeing 777X BA.N deliveries in October of 2025.
