This city is a key hub for the airline's business travelers, and the aircraft upgrade comes just three months after the line's inception.
The aircraft will operate flight EK310, departing Dubai at 04:15 and arriving in Hangzhou at 16:00. The return flight, EK311, leaves Hangzhou at 00:10 and arrives in Dubai at 06:10 the next day.
The A350 is the first new aircraft model to join the Emirates fleet since 2008, complementing the existing Boeing 777 and A380 aircraft already serving China. The A350 features innovative interior designs, including elegant and spacious passenger cabins with high ceilings and wide aisles across all classes.
The aircraft is configured with three classes, featuring a total of 312 seats: 32 in the new-generation business class in a 1-2-1 layout, 21 in the premium economy class in a 2-3-2 configuration, and 259 in the economy class in a 3-3-3 layout.
Adnan Kazim, Chief Commercial Officer of Emirates: "In the past year, we have invested in our operations in China, launched new destinations, and deployed our most updated products on the routes. The deployment of the A350 to Hangzhou is the next logical step."
