Emirates has announced its new A350 will debut in India this week.

The aircraft will make journeys to Mumbai and Ahmedabad from Sunday January 26.

To Mumbai the aircraft will operate daily, departing Dubai at 1.15pm and arriving at 5.50pm.

In Business Class, the seats are leather “S Lounge seats” inspired by the Mercedes S Class, with wireless charging and a cocktail table.

Eventually, there will be 65 A350 aircraft in Emirates’ fleet.
