Emirates will deploy its new A350 aircraft on flights EK344/345 between Dubai and Kuala Lumpur from 1 September.

This will expand the airline’s Premium Economy offering in the Malaysian capital to 52 seats daily, with the A350 joining the airline’s retrofitted Boeing 777 operating on EK346/347.

Saeed Mubarak, Emirates Country Manager in Malaysia, said: “This year marks three decades since Emirates launched services to Kuala Lumpur. For 30 years, we have continued to strengthen our presence in Malaysia and invest in our products, ensuring our customers enjoy an exceptional travel experience at every stage of their journey.

“Following the successful introduction of our retrofitted Boeing 777 with Premium Economy on EK346/347, we’re delighted to bring our new-generation A350 to Kuala Lumpur. Together with our A380 operations, this means customers travelling from Malaysia will have access to all three of our flagship aircraft types, each offering a distinctive Emirates experience.

“We’re confident that our A350 will be warmly welcomed by our customers in Malaysia, and we look forward to giving more travellers the opportunity to experience our latest and best-in-class products.” -TradeArabia News Service
