Emirates has introduced its first Airbus A350, marking a significant milestone for the Dubai-based airline. The aircraft, registered as A6-EXA, was delivered from Toulouse last Monday and unveiled in Dubai with an invitation extended to Simple Flying for an exclusive tour.
Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates, highlighted the airline's commitment to cabin customization during the unveiling. "I am sure our friends at Airbus will tell you that Emirates is rather demanding about customization. When it comes to product and customer experience, an off-the-shelf or cookie-cutter approach is not for us," he stated.
The business class cabin on the new A350 features 32 seats arranged in a staggered 1-2-1 configuration, similar to that found on some of Emirates' other aircraft but with distinct differences. Privacy screens are available between seats for added seclusion.
