DUBAI-<\/strong> Emirates (EK)<\/a> will deploy its Airbus A350 on daily scheduled services to Orlando International Airport (MCO) from 1 November. Orlando will become Emirates\u2019 first US gateway to receive the A350 on scheduled passenger services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A350 will replace the Boeing 777 currently operating the Dubai-Orlando route, which Emirates launched in 2015. The new aircraft brings the airline\u2019s latest cabin interiors, technology and innovations, including its award-winning Premium Economy experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates A350 Adds Premium Economy to Orlando Route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Emirates A350<\/a> deployment will give customers travelling between Dubai (DXB) and Orlando access to the airline\u2019s latest onboard products across three cabin classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft has 298 seats in total, comprising 32 Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 configuration, 28 Premium Economy seats, and 238 Economy Class seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates says the aircraft will provide customers travelling to and from Central Florida with more cabin choice and updated comfort features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Orlando service is also a significant step in Emirates\u2019 Premium Economy rollout in the United States. The airline said the expansion reflects growing demand from American travellers for a more elevated long-haul travel experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Airbus A350 will operate daily between Dubai and Orlando on Emirates flights EK219 and EK220. All published times are local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
