Alongside these Airbus A350 flights, Emirates has scheduled three Boeing 777 rotations to Kuwait on January 8th and one Boeing rotation to Bahrain.

Emirates currently operates one Airbus A350 aircraft but anticipates the delivery of additional units soon. Fleet data suggests that two more A350s are due for delivery shortly. This expansion aligns with Emirates' plan to launch daily long-haul flights from Dubai to Edinburgh starting Friday.

The new Airbus A350 features a three-cabin layout offering business class, premium economy, and economy seating. Passengers can enjoy electronic window shades throughout the cabin and a responsive new 4K IFE system. Premium economy passengers will benefit from fewer seats per row compared to Boeing's configuration.
