Emirates is close to finalizing a deal for either the 787 Dreamliner or Airbus A350.  The airline intends to close on an agreement with one or the other aircraft manufacturer in time for July's Farnborough Air Show.

Analysts are already predicting the demise of the A380 production line in the not-so-distant future, as new orders continue to grow sparse.
