Emirates will introduce a second daily Airbus A350 service between Dubai and Colombo from 8 August, replacing the existing Boeing 777 aircraft on flight EK648/649.
Emirates may consider buying a larger version of A350 if Airbus went ahead with a new wide-body variant, reported Reuters, citing its top official. A larger A350 would leapfrog the A350-1000, which Emirates has so far declined to buy over concerns about durability of its engines in harsh Gulf operating conditions.
