Emirates has announced the first set of destinations to be served by its A350 aircraft entering service in September 2024.
The airline expects 10 A350s to join its fleet by March 31, 2025, and it plans to deploy its latest type to 9 destinations in the coming months, offering customers its latest signature cabin experiences.
These first 10 A350s will offer three cabin classes, with 32 next-generation Business Class seats, 21 seats in Premium Economy, and 259 Economy Class seats. All of these aircraft are earmarked to serve short to medium-haul cities on the Emirates network, with Bahrain as its inaugural destination.
Adnan Kazim, Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, of Emirates Airline said:
“The A350 will be a game-changer for Emirates, enabling us to serve regional points with superior operating efficiency and flexibility across the Middle East and GCC, West Asia and Europe. With the latest generation cabin products including more of our sought-after Premium Economy to more cities, top-notch in-flight entertainment technologies and an abundance of other customer-friendly features, the Emirates A350 builds on our long-standing commitment of investing in the very best customer experience in the sky. Flying the A350 to 9 cities in such a short span of time adds more premium cabin options and choice across geographies for our customers, and ensures we maintain our competitive edge and industry-leading position.”
