After an over 15-year hiatus from International Paris Airshow, Emirates returned to the 55th edition with its newest aircraft – the Airbus A350 – featuring the airline’s next-generation cabin design, latest interiors, and technologies.
Visitors experienced Emirates’ upgraded Business Class and Premium Economy cabins, as well its sleek and spacious Economy Class. Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline, said: “We’re pleased to be at the Paris Airshow, showcasing the very best of air travel on one of the most important platforms in the aerospace exhibition calendar. Coming back to France's most important aerospace show demonstrates how committed Emirates is to supporting the country's aviation industry - not just through our day-to-day operations, but through ongoing investments across the entire aerospace supply chain.” The Emirates A350 on display featured three spacious cabin classes including 32 next-generation Business Class lie-flat seats, 21 Premium Economy seats, and 259 generously pitched Economy Class seats. Visitors at the Paris Airshow caught a glimpse of the airline’s new and enhanced ‘fly better’ experience including more space and storage with extra high ceilings and wider aisles in all classes; next generation Business Class cabin with 1-2-1 seat configuration; latest generation of in-flight entertainment with a cinematic viewing experience, enhanced cabin lighting, faster Wi-Fi, and improved seat ergonomics. By the end of this year, the Emirates A350 is expected to serve 17 destinations. The airline has welcomed 7 A350 aircraft with 58 more units to join its fleet over the coming years.
