Emirates has recently deployed its new Airbus A350 aircraft on flights between Dubai and Hangzhou. With this significant move, Hangzhou becomes the first Chinese mainland city to feature Emirates’ latest aircraft type, further underscoring the airline’s unwavering commitment to the Chinese market.

Since launching in July 2025, Emirates’ daily Dubai-Hangzhou service has received steady demand from customers, providing the Chinese city with capacity and global connectivity via Dubai. The deployment of its latest generation aircraft aims to enhance the onboard experience for travellers while ensuring product consistency.

Operated by Emirates’ Airbus A350, flight EK310 departs daily from Dubai International Airport at 04:15hrs and arrives in Hangzhou at 16:00hrs. The return flight, EK311, departs from Hangzhou at 00:10hrs and lands in Dubai at 06:10hrs.

Orhan Abbas, Emirates Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations (Far East), commented: “In line with its expansion efforts in East Asia, Emirates has significantly enhanced its operations in the Chinese mainland by adding new main gateways, Shenzhen and Hangzhou, and introducing new cabins to both cities. Since it launched, Hangzhou has become a strategic hub for Emirates’ ongoing development in China.”

The introduction of the Airbus A350 also brings Emirates’ Premium Economy Class to Chinese passengers, offering a richer selection of premium travel options. Emirates’ Premium Economy Class delivers a comparable experience to many airlines’ business class, featuring spacious reclining leather seats, adjustable headrests, built-in charging ports, and more.

The Emirates A350 is designed with a three-class layout accommodating 312 passengers: 32 next-generation Business Class seats, 21 Premium Economy Class seats, and 259 Economy Class seats.
