Emirates has introduced the next seven destinations for its Airbus A350-900 aircraft, deploying the type to destinations across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, as well as adding extra flights on current routes.
On March 19, Emirates announced that throughout the summer months and on September 1, the airline would introduce the A350-900 to seven destinations across several continents:
