Emirates has accepted delivery of its first Airbus A350 aircraft.
A6-EXA is the first of 65 A350 aircraft to be delivered to the airline over the course of the next few years.
The delivery also marks the first new aircraft type to join the Emirates fleet since 2008.

The aircraft was officially handed over to Emirates on Monday, November 25 and was scheduled to embark on its ferry flight from Toulouse (TLS) to Dubai.
After the A350 landed in Dubai, it is receiving its finishing touches at Emirates Engineering before being officially unveiled at a special event later this week.
The delivery flight for the newest member of the Emirates fleet was powered by a blend of jet fuel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
The aircraft will officially enter commercial service in January when it makes its debut flight to its first destination, Edinburgh, followed by eight other destinations across the Middle East, West Asia and Europe.
