The Emirates A350 aircraft made its debut in Amman earlier than planned, arriving two weeks ahead of schedule. Originally set to operate on June 1, the new plane departed Dubai at 2210 hours on May 19 and landed in Amman at 0015 hours on May 20. The return flight left Amman at 0205 hours and arrived in Dubai by 0605 hours.

The Emirates A350 is equipped with three classes, offering a total of 312 seats. This includes 32 Business Class lie-flat seats arranged in a 1-2-1 layout, 21 Premium Economy seats configured as 2-3-2, and 259 Economy Class seats laid out in a 3-3-3 formation. The aircraft features higher ceilings, wider aisles, and a quieter cabin environment aimed at enhancing passenger comfort.

Passengers can enjoy the latest generation of in-flight entertainment across all classes, featuring a cinematic viewing experience along with enhanced cabin lighting, faster Wi-Fi, and improved seat ergonomics.

"The A350’s arrival in Amman marks a significant milestone in Emirates’ longstanding commitment to Jordan dating back to 1986," according to the airline. This deployment highlights Emirates' continued investment in the Jordanian market by strengthening connectivity, tourism, and trade links between Dubai and Amman. Alongside the A350, Emirates also operates the iconic A380 to Amman on flights EK903/904.

Currently serving six other short and medium-haul destinations such as Edinburgh, Kuwait, and Mumbai, the Emirates A350 will soon expand its reach to include Oslo, Istanbul, Ho Chi Minh City among others. By year-end, it is expected that the airline will operate this aircraft model across 17 global cities.
