Emirates will put its new Airbus A350, due to enter service in September, at Bologna from 1 December.
The new A350s will have three cabin classes
With 10 new A350s expected to enter the fleet, the Dubai-based airline plans to deploy the aircraft to nine destinations in the coming months. The new A350s will be configured with three cabin classes, with 32 seats in the new generation Business Class, 21 seats in Premium Economy and 259 seats in Economy Class. All are intended to serve short- and medium-haul destinations in the Emirates network: the first A350 will fly to Bahrain with daily frequencies from 15 September next, with a second service starting on 1 November. The aircraft will land in Kuwait with daily service on 16 September and in Muscat from 1 December.
“The Airbus A350 adds more premium cabin options”
In Europe, the A350 will make its debut in Bologna from 1 December, as well as in Lyon and, from 4 November, in Edinburgh.
"The A350 will be a game changer for Emirates, allowing us to serve regional points with superior operational efficiency and flexibility in the Middle East and GCC, West Asia and Europe," said Adnan Kazim, the airline's deputy president and CCO, Emirates' A350 confirms our long-standing commitment to investing in the best customer experience in the sky. Flying the A350 to nine cities in such a short timeframe adds more premium cabin options, greater choice across all geographies for our customers, and ensures we maintain our competitive edge and industry-leading position."
