Emirates to receive first Airbus A350 in August
Emirates will take delivery of its first Airbus A350 in August 2024, the carrier’s chief operating officer was quoted as saying on Wednesday, which would be more than a year later than initially announced.
A representative for the Dubai-based airline confirmed the comments by COO Adel Al Redha published by Emirati newspaper Emarat Al Youm were accurate. Airbus did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Emirates was due to receive its first of 50 A350 jets in May 2023, the airline said when announcing the order in late 2019.
Al Redha also told reporters that deliveries of Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft Emirates had ordered were delayed by at least a year to 2024, Reuters reported.
