Emirates has announced it will operate the Airbus A350 on its daily flight to the Chinese city of Hangzhou from October 26, 2025, a move that comes just 3 months after launching service to its new destination in mainland China.
The Airbus A350 will operate flight EK310, departing Dubai at 04:15 and arriving in Hangzhou at 16:00, while the return flight, EK311, departs Hangzhou at 00:10 and arrives in Dubai at 06:10, according to a press release published on the Emirates website.
For his part, Adnan Kazim, Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer at Emirates, explained that the past year saw significant investment in the airline's operations in mainland China, through launching new destinations and offering an enhanced travel experience thanks to its latest onboard products.
He stressed that deploying the Airbus A350 to Hangzhou is a natural step in the airline's strategy as it continues to bring its latest products to its destinations in China, and that the aircraft is a quality addition to its existing fleet mix in China.
The Airbus A350 is the first new aircraft type to join the Emirates fleet since 2008, complementing the current mix of Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 aircraft, both of which serve mainland China.
With the new aircraft, Emirates is introducing its Premium Economy cabin to Hangzhou, expanding the premium options available to travelers to and from the city. The cabin offers an experience closer to Business Class on many airlines, with spacious reclining leather seats fitted with full leg and foot rests and an adjustable headrest.
The aircraft comes in a three-class configuration, with 32 Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 layout, 21 Premium Economy seats in a 2-3-2 layout and 259 Economy Class seats in a 3-3-3 layout.
