"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.
