Emirates will introduce its Airbus A350 on Dubai-Nairobi flights from October 25, 2026. The deployment will also mark the first availability of Emirates’ Premium Economy cabin on flights to and from Nairobi, expanding passenger choice and comfort on the route.
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.
