Emirates Deploying A350 to Kuala Lumpur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Emirates will deploy its Airbus A350<\/a> on the Dubai-Kuala Lumpur route from September 1, giving passengers access to the airline\u2019s newest aircraft alongside its retrofitted Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A350 will operate flights EK344 and EK345. The aircraft features 32 Business Class seats, 28 Premium Economy seats and 238 Economy Class seats, providing 298 seats in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deployment also marks an important milestone in Emirates\u2019 three-decade presence in Malaysia. The airline launched services to Kuala Lumpur 30 years ago and has continued to expand its products and aircraft offerings in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saeed Mubarak, Emirates Country Manager in Malaysia, said the airline was pleased to introduce its new-generation A350 following the successful deployment of the retrofitted Boeing 777 with Premium Economy on EK346\/347.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Emirates, Malaysia-based customers will now have access to all three of its flagship aircraft types: the Airbus A350, Boeing 777<\/a> and Airbus A380.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates A350 Cabin Configuration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Emirates A350 introduces a new cabin design focused on upgraded comfort, connectivity and entertainment across its three travel classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Class<\/a> features 32 lie-flat seats arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration. The seats also include wireless charging, allowing passengers to charge compatible devices during the flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium Economy provides 28 seats, while Economy Class offers 238 seats. The aircraft combines the updated cabin design with newer onboard technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the premium cabins, electronic window blinds feature the Emirates Ghaf tree motif when closed. Passengers can also access digital inflight menus through the aircraft’s entertainment screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4K Entertainment and Improved Wi-Fi<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The A350 is equipped with Emirates’ latest generation of its ice inflight entertainment system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system includes 4K and 4K HDR displays with responsive touchscreens, giving passengers access to a higher-resolution entertainment experience during the flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates also offers Wi-Fi powered by ViaSat’s Global Xpress (GX) satellite network. Improved wireless access points are designed to provide stronger connectivity throughout the aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Premium Economy Seats in Kuala Lumpur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The introduction of the A350 increases Emirates’ Premium Economy presence in Kuala Lumpur to 52 seats per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft operating EK344\/345 will complement the retrofitted Boeing 777 on EK346\/347. This gives passengers departing from or arriving in Kuala Lumpur more opportunities to access Emirates’ upgraded Premium Economy product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The addition also strengthens the consistency of Emirates’ premium cabin offering for passengers connecting through Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A350 Connections Through Dubai<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Passengers travelling between Kuala Lumpur and Dubai can connect onward to destinations served by Emirates’ A350 through Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates said customers travelling on EK345 from Kuala Lumpur or arriving on EK344 can access a consistent product experience when connecting to more than 20 destinations across its global network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These connections include cities such as Istanbul<\/a>, Lyon and Frankfurt, as well as destinations across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa and the Americas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A350 deployment therefore provides Kuala Lumpur passengers with access to Emirates’ newest aircraft while also expanding connectivity through the airline’s Dubai hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates Strengthens Its Malaysia Network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The A350 introduction comes as Emirates marks 30 years of operations to Kuala Lumpur. The airline’s deployment of its three flagship aircraft types gives the Malaysian market access to a wider range of Emirates cabin products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the A350 joining the Boeing 777 and Airbus A380<\/a> on services to Kuala Lumpur, Emirates is expanding the availability of its latest onboard products while maintaining connections between Malaysia and its wider international network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
