Emirates will operate its Airbus A350 on all seven weekly flights to Baghdad starting 1 January 2026, replacing the Boeing 777 currently serving four of the weekly routes.
The move aims to provide passengers with a consistent and upgraded travel experience on every flight.
The A350 features a three-class configuration with 32 lie-flat Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 layout, 21 Premium Economy seats in a 2-3-2 arrangement, and 259 Economy Class seats in a 3-3-3 layout. Passengers will benefit from wider aisles, quieter cabins, advanced lighting to reduce jet lag, and the airline’s award-winning inflight entertainment system, ice.
This deployment reinforces Emirates’ ‘Fly Better’ promise and highlights the airline’s ongoing commitment to Iraq and the wider region. The Airbus A350 was first introduced on Baghdad flights in August 2025 on select routes, marking a gradual transition to the new aircraft.
Emirates encourages travelers to book tickets through its website, mobile app, retail stores, contact centre, or via authorized travel agents.
