It will begin with a service to Edinburgh… This is your sign from the powers that be (and us) that you should book a holiday: Emirates has announced that its first Airbus A350 will take-off in January 2025.

Emirates has officially unveiled the very first Airbus A350-900 to join its fleet at an exclusive event showcase in Dubai.

After considerable delays, which seems to be the norm nowadays, Emirates finally took delivery of its first of 65 Airbus A350-900s on November 25. The aircraft, which is registered A6-EXA, left Toulouse at 17:00 and, following an unusual route, arrived in Dubai 7h 17m later at 03:17 local time the next day.

Emirates has taken delivery of its first Airbus A350 aircraft, which will be operated on both medium and long-haul routes from January 2025. The carrier’s A350-900 features three cabin classes, with 32 seats in business class, 21 in premium economy and 259 seats in economy class.
