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.
The airline has confirmed that it has received its first Airbus A350, the A6-EXA, which arrives in Dubai at 4pm on Monday November 25 from Toulouse. The aircraft will receive its finishing touches at Emirates Engineering, before it enters commercial service in January. The first Emirates Airbus A350 will service Edinburgh, Scotland as its first route, with eight more destinations set to be added to the A350 thereafter.
