Emirates has reached a key milestone with the launch of its first Airbus A350 into commercial service, marking its inaugural flight from Dubai to Edinburgh.
The Airbus A350 is a state-of-the-art, fuel-efficient aircraft that offers enhanced comfort and advanced technology, positioning Emirates at the forefront of modern aviation. The aircraft, featuring Emirates’ latest cabin products, is the first of 65 A350s joining the airline’s fleet over the coming years.
Emirates has configured its A350 to provide three cabin classes, accommodating 312 passengers in 32 next-generation Business Class lie-flat seats, 21 Premium Economy seats, and 259 Economy Class seats.
In the coming months, Emirates will operate its Airbus A350 to eight more global destinations: Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kuwait, Bahrain, Colombo, Lyon, Muscat, and Bologna.
Earlier this month, Emirates announced that it will accelerate the deployment of its Airbus A350 to Kuwait and Bahrain, with services set to begin on January 8.
The three-class aircraft features 312 seats, with 32 next-generation Business Class lie-flat seats in a 1-2-1 layout, 21 Premium Economy seats in a 2-3-2 configuration, and 259 generously pitched Economy Class seats in a 3-3-3 arrangement, offering more space and comfort in every cabin.
The Emirates A350 operating in both cities boasts a suite of next-generation features in every cabin class, including high ceilings and wider aisles, new technology touches, faster Wi-Fi, and the latest version of the ice inflight entertainment system featuring a cinematic experience for customers to enjoy the airline’s vast media and channel selection of on-demand entertainment.
