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.
