The Airbus A350-900 represents Emirates Airline’s first new aircraft type since 2008 and could be the first of a series of new additions to the airline’s fleet. It is a state of art full of innovations aimed at improving the comfort, communication accessibility and general flying experience of its users. In the following article, let me highlight five specialities of the new A350s of Emirates.
Better cabin layout and incomparable comfort.
The company has embraced the Airbus A350-900 cabin configuration, which features a three-class configuration accommodating 312 passengers. This includes:
Business Class: A range of thirty-two business-class seats arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration similar to the Mercedes S Class design. These seats come with lie-flat capabilities and offer a direct line of sight to the aisle, which is impressive.
Premium Economy: Full leather, comfortable 21 usable seats in 2-3-2 configuration with full legs and footrests.
Economy Class: 259 comfortably seated passengers in a 3-3-3 format. This latest travelling seat has a six-position headrest, which protects the head of the passenger without any extra neck pillow.
Emirates has given a premium focus to comfort and has rightly selected the A350-900 for short and long hauls.
New Generation In-flight Entertainment
Customers can now appreciate Emirates’ most innovative in-flight entertainment to date. Equipped with 4K ultra-responsive displays, the system offers:
A three-fold media library lets viewers get various movies, television shows, and musicals.
New offers like ‘Smart light’, which adapts the screen’s brightness depending on the environment, and ‘Eye comfort mode,’ – turning off the blue light to avoid its negative impact.
The option of skipping on intros and credits for the viewers’ extended comfort.
Improve the live television package so people can be informed of worldwide events on a plane at 40,000 feet.
Holders of either an Economy or Business Class ticket through Emirates will undoubtedly be provided with some of the most outstanding entertainment known to man.

Having a connection mid-flight has never been an issue; hence, the connectivity aspect of the technology is correct.
The A350-900 is equipped with advanced connectivity solutions, including:
