Emirates A350s | Official Website

Emirates' fleet currently includes 253 widebody aircraft, with the addition of eight Airbus A350-900s. The first A350 arrived in November last year and began service from Dubai to Edinburgh in January 2025. The latest A350 was delivered on June 15 and showcased at the Paris Air Show before arriving in the UAE.

The airline's A350s have a seating capacity of 312, with configurations for business, premium economy, and economy classes. However, a new 298-seat version is set to begin flying in October.

From July to December, Emirates plans to operate its A350s on 17 routes from Dubai International Airport. These include destinations such as Adelaide, Baghdad, Ho Chi Minh City, and Oslo. On July 1, the A350 started servicing Dammam and Istanbul Airport daily.

The new configuration will feature fewer seats but will allow for longer flights due to a lighter aircraft weight. This configuration will start service on October 1 from Dubai to Kuwait and other destinations including Mumbai and Bahrain later in the year.

Adelaide will be one of the key routes for this new configuration starting December 1. This route covers nearly double the distance compared to Emirates' second-longest route with the A350. While it offers fewer seats than previous models used on this route, it introduces premium economy class for Adelaide travelers.

Emirates has been serving Adelaide since November 2012 but paused during the pandemic until resuming flights in October 2024. With this change, all five Australian cities served by Emirates will now offer premium economy options.
