Emirates has announced that Bahrain is now the first destination in its global network to be exclusively served by the Airbus A350 aircraft. The airline’s third A350 arrived at Bahrain International Airport on June 2, marking the complete deployment of this advanced aircraft for all Emirates flights to the Kingdom.

Currently, the Airbus A350 operates on various short and medium-haul routes for Emirates, including cities such as Amman, Kuwait, Edinburgh, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Colombo, and Tunis. Emirates plans to expand its A350 network to a total of 17 cities by the end of 2025.

The new daily flight, EK835, departs from Dubai at 02:00 and arrives in Bahrain at 02:15. The return flight, EK836, leaves Bahrain at 03:40 and lands in Dubai at 06:05. This strategic move is part of Emirates’ commitment to its ‘Fly Better’ initiative, aimed at enhancing the travel experience while modernizing its fleet with advanced technology and improved comfort.

The Emirates A350 serving Bahrain features a three-class configuration, which includes 32 Business Class lie-flat seats, 21 Premium Economy seats, and 259 spacious Economy Class seats. Passengers can benefit from faster Wi-Fi, an enhanced cinematic experience through the award-winning ice entertainment system, as well as higher ceilings, wider aisles, quieter cabins, and optimized cabin lighting.

This deployment highlights Emirates’ strong and growing relationship with Bahrain, showcasing the airline’s investment in providing a premium product and service to the market.
