Emirates to Introduce New Airbus A350 on Two Major Routes to India

The new Airbus A350 aircraft are emerging as one of the most intriguing and up-to-date tools for airlines to appeal to passengers.

Dubai's aviation giant Emirates will deploy, starting from the coming week, its new planes on the routes between Dubai and Mumbai and between Dubai and Ahmedabad, two among the 65 purchased by the company.

These two routes join additional routes where the company has already announced it will place the new plane, including Edinburgh, Kuwait, and Bahrain. According to the company's statement, "The introduction of the A350 aircraft into service in India is a significant step for us, highlighting our commitment to customers in the region." It should be noted that Emirates has not yet renewed its flights to Israel.

Overall, Emirates conducts 167 weekly flights between Dubai and nine different destinations in India. Alongside the A350, the company operates daily flights to Mumbai and Bangalore with the large A380 aircraft, which includes the premium economy class.
