Emirates expands fleet with additional Airbus A350s

Fifteen more A350-900s will bring Emirates’ total A350s on order to 65 jets.

Fleet Expansion Announcement

Emirates made a significant announcement at the Dubai Airshow 2023, revealing an order for 15 more Airbus A350-900s, valued at $6 billion. This substantial addition elevates Emirates’ total A350 order count to 65 units, underlining the airline’s commitment to enhancing its fleet.

Expansive Order Book

Coupled with their recent order for 95 additional Boeing aircraft earlier in the week, Emirates solidifies its ambitious plans with a staggering total order book of 310 wide-body aircraft. This move signals an aggressive approach toward expanding and modernizing its fleet to meet evolving market demands.

Delivery Schedule

The maiden A350 is slated to integrate into Emirates’ fleet by August 2024. With the latest batch of orders, Emirates secures A350 deliveries scheduled to continue arriving until early 2028. This strategic acquisition outlines the airline’s long-term vision and dedication to incorporating advanced, efficient aircraft into its operations.

Emirates’ continuous investment in both Airbus and Boeing aircraft underscores its commitment to innovation and adaptability, aiming to bolster its position in the global aviation landscape while focusing on operational efficiency and passenger experience.
