Did Emirates Order The Airbus A350 To Replace Its A380s?

Emirates operates the largest fleet of two of the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the A380 and the Boeing 777. However, it is also ordering large numbers of Airbus A350s, 787s, and 777Xs. Which of these is replacing the A380? The answer is a bit complicated, as airlines rarely ever neatly replace one generation with another on a one-for-one basis.
