Emirates hit by more Boeing delays: <\/strong>The Dubai carrier now expects Boeing\u2019s long-overdue<\/a>777X deliveries<\/a> to be delayed until at least 2Q 2027, with the possibility of further setbacks into 2028, Bloomberg<\/a> reports, citing people familiar with Emirates\u2019 financial and operational planning. The Dubai-based carrier, which has 205 units on order and has centered its future fleet strategy around the 777X, is no longer relying on Boeing\u2019s target debut date as ongoing production setbacks and an extended certification process continue to push timelines further out.<\/p>\n

The delays have pushed Emirates to extend the service life of its current fleet<\/strong>, spending USD 4 bn on <\/span>retrofits to keep ageing A380s and 777s in service<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

ALSO- The UAE\u2019s push into metals trading made headlines<\/strong>, with the Financial Times<\/a> highlighting Abu Dhabi, Oman, and Saudi Arabia\u2019s efforts to launch new metal trading companies as part of a broader strategy to diversify beyond oil and secure critical minerals for the energy transition. Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund ADQ formed a 50-50 JV with US-based Orion Resource Partners just last month<\/a> to invest USD 1.2 bn in metals and mining over the next four years. \u201cThe Gulf is becoming much more dynamic and strategic in how it invests in mining,\u201d said Philip Clegg, managing partner of the JV.<\/p>\n

International Holding Company\u2019s mining investment arm, International Resources Holding (IRH), has been a key player. <\/strong>The company has already built a 60-person trading unit<\/a> to handle energy and metals and is actively trading third-party commodities across base metals, energy products, and iron ore. IRH is also in talks with international traders, including Mercuria, to further expand its trading portfolio after acquiring a 51% stake in Zambia\u2019s Mopani copper mine for USD 1.1 bn last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
