With regards to the A350, Airbus probably convinced EK to go with A350 instead of B787. As far as it being a completely new aircraft, it may very well be one if the current customers place orders for them with that expectation instead of being a retrofitted A330. However, if it's a redesign, then it will take longer to roll out. As far as CX and BA buying the A380, unless Boeing does not plan on going forward with the B747ADV project, CX and BA will hold off until that decision is made.
