• Addition of A350 to Emirates fleet primes airline for growth amid robust travel demand

Karachi, 27 November 2024: Emirates has officially unveiled the very first Airbus A350-900 to join its fleet at an exclusive event showcase in Dubai.

The event, led by Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline in the presence of His Excellency Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri, UAE Minister of Economy, was attended by VIP guests, aerospace partners, government officials and dignitaries, members of the media, as well as aviation enthusiasts. Guests were able to experience the aircraft’s interiors, equipped with its next generation products and latest technologies.
The Emirates A350 features three spacious cabin classes, accommodating 312 passengers in 32 next-generation Business Class lie-flat seats, 21 Premium Economy seats and 259 generously pitched Economy Class seats. The latest onboard products reflect the airline’s commitment to delivering a premium passenger experience while optimising operational efficiency. The Emirates A350 is the first new aircraft type to join Emirates’ fleet since 2008.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline & Group said: “Today is an exciting milestone for Emirates as we showcase our first A350 and usher in a new era for our fleet and network growth. This aircraft sets the stage for Emirates to spread its wings farther by offering added range, efficiency and flexibility to our network, enabling us to meet customer demand in new markets and unlock new opportunities in the cities that we serve. Onboard, our updated interiors and seating configurations will help us deliver a more elevated and comfortable experience to travellers across every cabin class. The 65 Emirates A350s joining our fleet in the coming years fit into the airline’s broader plans to support our visionary leadership’s Dubai’s D33 Strategy, which will transform the city into a pivotal hub in the global economy by expanding its connectivity and reach.”
Phillipe Mhun, Executive Vice President Programmes & Services for Airbus said: “We are proud to further expand our strategic partnership with Emirates which has flourished nearly 4 decades ago with the A300, the A330, the A340 and the A380. Marking a new chapter for Airbus, we expect the A350 to become an integral member of the Emirates’ fleet and support its continued growth and sustainability ambitions.”
Omar Ali Adib, SVP Customer – Middle East and Africa for Rolls-Royce, said: “The collaborative effort between Emirates, Airbus and Rolls-Royce exemplifies what can be achieved when we share a commitment to excellence and build a long-term partnership that makes us all stronger. With our £1bn investment in durability across our Trent engine family, we are committed to continuing to evolve and improve in the years ahead.”
Apart from its newly delivered A350, Emirates operates two other aircraft types around the world to 140 destinations – the widebody Boeing 777 aircraft and the iconic ‘double decker’ Airbus A380 aircraft. The A350’s introduction will enable Emirates to expand into new destinations globally, including mid-sized airports unsuited for larger aircraft. The Emirates A350 will be delivered in two versions – one for regional routes and one for ultra long-haul routes.
The airline plans to make its first scheduled commercial A350 flight to Edinburgh on 3 January 2025. In the months to follow, customers can look forward to experiencing the Emirates A350 in existing GCC points like Bahrain, Muscat and Kuwait, Lyon and Bologna in Europe, and Colombo, Mumbai and Ahmedabad in West Asia in addition to new travel opportunities that are up to 15 hours from Dubai– to be announced in 2025.

• The aviation sector supported 27% of Dubai’s GDP in 2023, with an economic contribution of AED 137 billion (USD 37.3 billion) – which is set to rise to almost a third of Dubai’s GDP by 2030. The total aviation sector impact includes the sector’s core impact as well as the catalytic impact of aviation-facilitated tourism
• The aviation sector supported over 630,000 jobs in 2023 and is forecasted to add another 185,000 jobs by 2030
• The catalytic impact of tourism facilitated by aviation contributed AED 43 billion (USD 11.8 billion) to the local economy in 2023, with its GDP contributions expected to grow by more than 40% by 2030

Karachi 24 October: Emirates Group and Dubai Airports have released an economic impact study reaffirming aviation’s pivotal role in Dubai’s economy. The study, compiled by global research firm Oxford Economics, provides insights into the sector’s current and projected contributions, assessing direct, indirect, and induced economic activity as well as the catalytic impact of aviation-driven tourism.
In 2023, the aviation sector, including Emirates Group, Dubai Airports (covering Dubai International and Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum airports), and other aviation entities, contributed AED 137 billion (USD 37.3 billion) to Dubai’s GDP, accounting for 27% of the total. This figure includes the core impact of AED 94 billion from aviation operations and AED 43 billion from aviation-facilitated tourism. By 2030, this contribution is expected to rise to AED 196 billion, representing 32% of Dubai’s GDP.
The sector also played a significant role in employment, supporting 631,000 jobs in 2023, equivalent to one in five jobs in Dubai. With projected growth, an additional 185,000 jobs will be created by 2030, bringing the total to 816,000 jobs.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline & Group and Chairman of Dubai Airports, emphasized that aviation remains a key pillar of Dubai’s economic growth strategy under the D33 Economic Agenda, which aims to further expand the city’s global role in trade, tourism, and logistics. With strong air connectivity, Dubai is already a prominent hub for international business and leisure travel. Sheikh Ahmed highlighted that Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International Airport, when fully completed, will significantly enhance the city’s global standing. The airport, currently undergoing a AED 128 billion investment to expand its capacity, will ultimately be five times the size of Dubai International and able to serve 260 million passengers annually.
While the Dubai World Central (DWC) expansion is not included in the 2023 impact results, it is expected to contribute an additional AED 6.1 billion to Dubai’s GDP and 132,000 jobs by 2030.
Aviation is also a critical driver of tourism, with international visitors in 2023 contributing an estimated AED 66 billion to Dubai’s economy, staying an average of 3.8 nights and spending AED 4,300 on hotels, dining, attractions, and shopping. Aviation-facilitated tourism accounted for AED 43 billion in gross value added (GVA) to Dubai’s GDP and supported 329,000 jobs. By 2030, this figure is projected to grow to AED 63 billion, contributing 10% of Dubai’s GDP and supporting one in eight jobs in the emirate.
A previous report by Oxford Economics from 2014 also found that the aviation sector contributed 27% of Dubai’s GDP, but the number of jobs supported has risen significantly, reflecting faster growth and diversification across other sectors of the economy.
Dubai’s continued investments in aviation infrastructure, particularly the expansion of Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International, will play a vital role in the emirate’s future growth. These developments, aligned with the D33 Economic Agenda, will strengthen Dubai’s position as a global logistics and tourism hub, connecting it to 400 new destinations and making it one of the top five logistics centers globally.
The study illustrates the crucial link between aviation and Dubai’s broader economic success, emphasizing the role the sector plays in maintaining Dubai’s competitiveness on the world stage and its future economic prosperity.
