Emirates and Boeing signed an agreement to partner on technologies for maintenance including drones, artificial intelligence, and augmented and virtual reality.
With the fallout of orders from the recent Dubai Airshow, this week's Flight Friday looks at those operators who ordered more than 30 aircraft at the show.

Emirates Airline President Tim Clark has effectively ruled out an order for A350-1000s if Rolls-Royce does not come up with major improvements to the Trent XWB-97 engine, including a significant thrust increase.
Ethiopian Airlines CEO notes its latest order emphasizes its confidence in the improvements Boeing has made to the 737 MAX following the fatal crash the carrier suffered in 2019.
Propulsion and thermal management developer Reaction Engines and hydrogen fuel-cell system developer Cranfield Aerospace Solutions have built on their existing ties.
Jens Flottau, managing editor for commercial aviation at Aviation Week, updates on the largest orders which have - and have not - taken place so far at Dubai.
