Emirates has received its first A350-900 aircraft, marking a significant milestone in the airline’s fleet expansion strategy. This delivery highlights the enduring partnership between Emirates and Airbus, founded on innovation, efficiency, and operational excellence. The A350 is set to enhance Emirates’ medium and long-haul services, extending the airline’s reach beyond its current network.
The airline has placed an order for a total of 65 A350-900s as part of its broader plans to support Dubai’s Economic Agenda, which aims to connect 400 additional cities to Dubai’s foreign trade network over the next decade. The A350 will play a key role in the development of the newly announced Dubai World Central (DWC) mega hub, reinforcing Dubai’s status as a global aviation leader.
The Emirates A350-900 will feature three spacious and comfortable cabin classes, with a total capacity of 312 passengers (32 in business class, 21 in premium economy, and 259 in economy). Emirates will also be the first airline in the Middle East to introduce Airbus’ new HBCplus satcom connectivity solution, ensuring seamless, high-speed global connectivity.
