Emirates to deploy A350 on Orlando route from November 1

Dhaka: Emirates will deploy the Airbus A350 on scheduled services in the United States for the first time on November 1, when the aircraft begins operating the airline's daily flights to Orlando.

According to an official statement from the Dubai-based national carrier, the A350 will replace the Boeing 777, which has served the Florida route since the airline launched services there in 2015.

Emirates said the A350s that would serve the Orlando route feature a three-class cabin configuration, comprising 32 Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 layout, 28 Premium Economy seats, and 238 Economy Class seats.

The A350's US debut also marks the next step in Emirates' Premium Economy rollout, which the airline said reflects growing demand among American travelers for an elevated experience.

Passengers flying to Dubai can connect to more than 90 destinations where the product is available. These include points in West Asia, Indian Ocean islands, the Far East, and Australasia.

Matthew Jones, Emirates Vice President for the USA, said customers on the route will be able to enjoy the airline's latest in-flight experiences and a high level of comfort in all three cabins.
