Emirates’ latest aircraft, the Airbus A350, has made its debut in Sri Lanka, introducing a new dimension in air travel to and from the popular destination of Colombo.
The roll out of Emirates’ A350 aircraft to Sri Lanka featuring the airline’s latest interiors, industry-first technologies and innovations, reinforces the airline’s commitment to a market it has served for 39 years, and offers exceptional levels of comfort onboard.
Presenting the first experience of Emirates’ sought-after Premium Economy cabin on the Colombo – Dubai route, the A350 now operates flight EK654/655 six days a week.
Emirates’ Premium Economy customers can experience quiet luxury with cream-coloured leather and wood panel finishing similar to Business Class. Each 19.5-inch seat is designed to provide optimal comfort and support, with 6-way adjustable headrests, a footrest and a generous recline. Each seat has a 13.3-inch screen, in addition to in-seat charging points and a wood-finished side cocktail table, an airline spokesman said.
The Emirates A350 aircraft offers three cabin classes, with 32 next generation Business Class seats, 21 seats in Premium Economy, and 259 generously pitched Economy Class seats. The A350 aircraft are earmarked to serve short to medium haul cities on the Emirates network, and Colombo is among the first nine destinations to be served by one.
