First new aircraft type since 2008 The A350-900, registered as A6-EXA, arrived at Dubai International Airport (DXB) on November 25, with the aircraft departing Airbus’ final assembly line (FAL) at Toulouse Blagnac Airport (TLS) and flying through the United Kingdom’s airspace, presumably due to documentation-related quirks, before turning toward Dubai. Ch-aviation data showed that Emirates was the owner of the A350-900, which operated its first-ever flight on September 25.

According to Emirates , its new A350-900 featured three spacious cabin classes, welcoming 312 travelers in 32 next-generation business class lie-flat, 21 premium economy, and 259 economy class seats with generous pitch. The airline highlighted that the onboard product reflected its commitment to delivering a premium passenger experience, which also has been underpinned by its massive Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 cabin retrofit program . With the introduction of the A350-900, which should begin commercial service in early January 2025 , Emirates has welcomed its first new fleet type since 2008.

Then, it welcomed its first-ever A380 aircraft, now a staple of its fleet. Emirates was supposed to take delivery of its first Airbus A350-900 in August. Services with the type should begin in January 2025.
