After months of feverish anticipation, the wait is finally over after Emirates officially unveiled its brand new (and first ever) Airbus A350.

It will begin with a service to Edinburgh… This is your sign from the powers that be (and us) that you should book a holiday: Emirates has announced that its first Airbus A350 will take-off in January 2025.

Emirates' A350 will commence commercial service on January 3 on the Dubai (DXB) – Edinburgh (EDI) route. The aircraft is the first of 65 A350-900XWBs ordered by the Dubai-based carrier and the first new type to join Emirates’ fleet since 2008.

Emirates has introduced its first Airbus A350-900 aircraft at an event showcase in Dubai. The event, led by Emirates Airline President Sir Tim Clark and attended by UAE Minister of Economy Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri, brought together VIPs, aerospace partners, government officials, media, and aviation enthusiasts.
