The deployment of the third A350 is part of the airline’s ‘Fly Better’ promise to further enhance the overall travel experience and modernise its fleet.
The three-class aircraft features 32 Business Class lie-flat seats in a 1-2-1 configuration, 21 Premium Economy seats in a 2-3-2 layout, and 259 Economy Class seats in a 3-3-3 layout. The aircraft offers faster Wi-Fi, cinematic viewing experience of its award-winning entertainment system – ice, higher ceilings, wider aisles, quieter cabins, and enhanced cabin lighting.
The A350 currently serves several destinations across the airline’s short and medium haul network, including Amman, Kuwait, Edinburgh, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Colombo, and Tunis. By the end of 2025, Emirates plans to serve 17 cities worldwide with its new A350 fleet.
