Airbus is demonstrating its leadership in innovation with the world's most modern range of aircraft families, products and innovative services on show at the newly located Dubai Airshow (November 17-21) at the Dubai World Central.

This mid-show update from the 2013 Dubai Airshow begins with a review by Tom Williams, Executive Vice President Programmes, of the orders announced by Airbus during the event's initial days - in particular, Emirates Airline's acquisition of 50 more A380s.

Also highlighted in the video is a visit of Emirates pilots to the A350 XWB full-scale cockpit mockup, which is in the exhibit pavilion of Airbus parent company EADS.
