Emirates has kicked off its daily regular service connecting Dubai International Airport (DXB) to Muscat International Airport (MCT). The introduction of the cutting-edge A350 to Muscat, originally planned for July 1, 2025, was accelerated by a week. The much-awaited Airbus A350 from Emirates has now become a common sight at Muscat International Airport with the initiation of daily services between Dubai and Muscat.

The newly introduced aircraft features a three-class configuration, offering a total of 312 seats. It comprises 32 lie-flat Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 layout, 21 Premium Economy seats arranged in a 2-3-2 configuration, and 259 Economy Class seats positioned in a 3-3-3 arrangement. Up to now, Emirates has welcomed seven A350s to its fleet, with plans to extend its services to 17 destinations by the end of 2025.

Muscat stands among the first cities in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region to be served by Emirates’ advanced A350, expanding the global network that includes destinations like Kuwait, Bahrain, Dammam, Amman, Edinburgh, Mumbai, Tunis, Colombo, and Ahmedabad. The daily flight from Dubai to Muscat operates as follows: Flight EK 866 departs Dubai at 02:15 local time, arriving in Muscat at 03:30 local time; Flight EK 867 departs Muscat at 04:40 local time, landing in Dubai at 05:55 local time.
