Months after Air India welcomed its first Airbus A350-900 in Delhi, another airline is ready to take delivery of the most coveted aircraft in the aviation industry. Emirates, one of the leading airlines in the world is expanding its fleet with modern jets. The airline has initially placed an order for 50 A350 aircraft at Dubai Airshow 2019. Emirates A350 order was again increased by an additional 15 jets at the 2023 Dubai Airshow. The airline is expected to begin operating its first Airbus A350 in August 2024.
Much to the delight of aviation enthusiasts, a social media post has offered a sneak-peek of Emirates first A350 900 aircraft at an Airbus’ facility in Toulouse. Although the aircraft is still believed to be in the early stages of assembly, the post showed the tail and a part of its fuselage.
