Ultra-Long-Range Aircraft Brings Premium Economy To Australian City
Emirates has introduced its first Airbus A350 to Adelaide, Australia, marking the first city in its global network to receive this ultra-long-range model. The A350-900ULR has taken over Emirates’ EK440/441 services, replacing the Boeing 777-200LR, and features a new Premium Economy cabin. According to Barry Brown, Divisional Vice President at Emirates, Adelaide was earmarked to receive this new aircraft due to its range and capability. The introduction of the A350 in Adelaide further enhances Emirates’ Australian network, which currently operates 70 weekly return flights to and from its five major gateways. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
