Emirates Adds Another A350-900 Destination To Its Operations

Emirates Adds Another A350-900 Destination To Its Operations

While the excitement around Emirates receiving and inducting its first few Airbus A350s has 
somewhat faded, it’s still exciting to see where the Dubai-based carrier 
is sending these shiny new jets. We take a look at this route and the current 
status of Emirates’ A350s for today’s video. Back on March 19th, 2025, Emirates announced seven 
more destinations for its A350 network expansion. Cities announced were Tunis, Amman, Istanbul, 
Dammam, Ho Chi Minh City, Baghdad and Oslo. Now, that March press release said that 
the Emirates A350 would debut in Oslo for the first time from September 1st. And so, 
with the first flight to Oslo ACTUALLY taking place on October 1st, we can see that 
things have been just a little delayed! Nonetheless, Emirates marked a significant 
milestone in launching Airbus A350 service to Oslo, bringing its award-winning Premium Economy 
offering to Scandinavia for the first time. To celebrate the A350’s arrival, the airline 
hosted an exclusive celebration at the airport, welcoming invited guests and media for an 
afternoon that underscored its commitment to delivering exceptional service in the region. Among the guests were key travel 
agency partners, operational partners, and members of the media. Emirates notes that, 
following the aircraft’s arrival, guests were invited to explore the new aircraft and Premium 
Economy cabin during a static tour at the airport. Prior to the A350 being placed on this route, 
Emirates had been using the Boeing 777-300ER. Indeed, Emirates has been serving 
Oslo from Dubai since 2014. With Emirates highlighting the addition 
of premium economy to the city pair, we have to assume that Emirates’ 
recent 777 deployments to the Norwegian city did NOT include aircraft 
reconfigured with premium economy. The airline notes that the A350 
will operate on Emirates’ daily service EK159/160 between Oslo 
and Dubai – a route which offers connections to the rest of Emirates’ 
network of 145 destinations worldwide. And so, at the time of making this 
video, Emirates’ A350s fly from Dubai International airport to the following 
cities/destinations in addition to Oslo: In the middle east region there’s Bahrain, 
Amman, Kuwait, Muscat, and Dammam. In Europe and North Africa there’s Lyon, 
Bologna, Tunis, Istanbul, and Edinburgh. And finally, in South and Southeast 
Asia we have the cities of Ahmedabad, Mumbai, and finally, Ho Chi Minh City. Emirates has 11 A350s in its fleet at the time 
of making this video with more on the way. What do YOU think of Dubai-Oslo as an A350 route 
for Emirates? Let us know by leaving a comment.
