BA Emirates has refused to accept delivery of 10 Boeing Aircraft from its order of 270 new 777X planes, with the airline's President saying the delayed jets would be better suited as baked bean cans. Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates, told The Telegraph at the Farnborough International Airshow that the first batch of 10 Aircraft required too many modifications to bring them up to current standards. The airline ordered the planes at $440M each, with the first jet built in 2019. "We're not taking that batch and that's it," Sir Tim told said. "As far as we're concerned, what they do with them is up to them." (per Investing.com)
