Emirates unveiled its first Airbus A350-900 on November 27, significantly marking the airline's entry into a new jet type since 2008. With 312 seats in business, premium economy, and coach, this aircraft will enhance Emirates' fleet alongside the Boeing 777 and Airbus A380. However, President Tim Clark expressed frustration over the delays of Boeing’s 777X, highlighting the ramifications of these setbacks on the airline's expansion strategy.
"This is our 13th year of partnering with the USTA and we are especially proud to be celebrating our renewed commitment to the prestigious event by introducing a new community initiative that will touch the lives of youth in communities throughout the US," said Boutros Boutros, Emirates' Executive Vice President of Corporate Communications, Marketing and Brand.
