Is Emirates About to Order the Boeing 787 Dreamliner?

In the past few years, there has been periodic speculation about Emirates potentially ordering the Boeing (NYSE: BA) 787 Dreamliner to complement its fleet of larger widebodies.

Last week, several news outlets reported that an Emirates Dreamliner purchase was a "done deal", with Emirates set to order a mix of 787-9s and 787-10s at the Dubai Airshow this fall. An Emirates Dreamliner order would be a big coup for Boeing, potentially allowing it to increase its production again.
