Emirates has brought forward the launch of its newest Airbus A350 services to Kuwait and Bahrain to January 8, making them the second and third destinations served by the airline’s latest aircraft.
The airline will operate its new Airbus A350 on a daily service to and from Kuwait. Flight EK853 will depart Dubai at 01:25 and arrive in Kuwait at 02:15. The return flight, EK854, will leave Kuwait at 03:40 and arrive in Dubai at 06:25, according to the Emirates website.
Bahrain will be served by the new aircraft on two daily flights to and from Manama. Flight EK835 will depart Dubai at 08:20 and arrive in Bahrain at 08:40. Return flight EK838 will leave Bahrain at 10:00 and arrive in Dubai at 12:15.
The second service, EK839, will depart Dubai at 16:00 and arrive in Bahrain at 16:40. Return flight EK840 will depart Bahrain at 17:45 and arrive in Dubai at 20:00. All times are local to Dubai, Kuwait and Bahrain.
The Emirates A350-900 features a three-class layout with spacious cabins accommodating 312 passengers. It offers 32 next-generation lie-flat Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 configuration, 21 Premium Economy seats in a 2-3-2 layout and 259 Economy Class seats in a 3-3-3 configuration, providing a more comfortable travel experience.
The Emirates A350 serving both destinations offers new features across all classes, including higher ceilings, wider aisles, new technology, faster Wi-Fi and the latest version of the ice inflight entertainment system. The system provides a cinematic experience with a wide range of on-demand media and entertainment channels.
Emirates has served Kuwait since 1989 and currently operates 29 weekly flights. The A350 will be the second aircraft type on the Kuwait route to offer Premium Economy and redesigned Business Class seats, following the introduction of the refurbished Boeing 777 last October. Emirates operates 22 weekly flights to Bahrain, which will now be served by a combination of Boeing 777 and Airbus A350 aircraft.
