Emirates Elevates Global Travel: Expanded Vegan Menu, A350 Luxury, Sustainable Fuel, and Enhanced Ultra-Long-Haul Comfort

Experience Emirates’ unmatched luxury with vegan menus, A350 comfort, and sustainable fuel — connecting travelers to 140+ global destinations.

A350

Emirates continues to reshape the meaning of high-end aviation with innovations that span from culinary excellence to green technologies and cabin luxury—cementing its position as a global leader in travel.

Culinary Innovation: The “Vegan Vault” Expands

Emirates has become a go-to choice for plant-based travellers, offering over 300 vegan recipes spanning all cabin classes and airport lounges. Chefs tapped the airline’s Concept Development Kitchen—especially during Veganuary—to craft inventive dishes such as savoury cannelloni made with plant-based pastry and a vegan egg alternative served in a spicy shakshuka sauce. A new range of children’s vegan meals now features pizza, vegetable fajitas, cauliflower bites with sweet sauce, and indulgent desserts like vegan chocolate pudding and strawberry crumble. Available up to 24 hours before departure and on some high-demand routes as main menu options, these offerings exemplify Emirates’ commitment to culinary diversity and thoughtful nutrition across its global network.

Next-Gen Fleet: A350 Arrives With Comfort & Reach

Emirates’ fleet now includes the Airbus A350-900, marking its first new aircraft type since 2008. These jets—launched on the Dubai–Edinburgh service in January 2025—boast modern interiors, 4K entertainment, wireless charging, adjustable lighting, and lie-flat, Mercedes-inspired Business Class seats. Premium Economy and Economy cabins also receive ergonomic upgrades and enhanced amenities.
The ultra-long-range A350-900ULR, set to debut December 1, 2025, on the Adelaide–Dubai route, offers nonstop 15-plus-hour capability over 14,000 km and three-class configurations with 298 seats. This milestone is expected to bring a significant tourism boost to South Australia, estimated at over AU$62 million annually.

Pioneering Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Emirates leads in sustainability by integrating sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) into its operations. After successful demonstration flights in 2023 using 100% SAF in one engine onboard A380 and 777-300ER aircraft, Emirates now deploys SAF on select commercial routes. Supply points include key global hubs—Dubai, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Oslo, Singapore—part of a broader strategy toward greener skies.

In-Flight Entertainment & Digital Experience

Emirates continues to set high standards with its ICE in-flight entertainment system, offering thousands of on-demand options across films, TV, music, and more—fully high-definition and award-winning. The latest ICE version, based on Thales AVANT Up, began rolling out with newly delivered A350s in 2025, ushering in enhanced screen quality, Bluetooth streaming, and refined user experience.

Bringing It All Together

Between its culinary flair for vegan cuisine, luxurious and efficient new aircraft, enduring commitment to sustainable fuel, and premium entertainment offerings, Emirates delivers travel that transcends mere transportation. Whether you’re flying to network hubs like Dubai or enjoying direct ultra-long-haul service to Adelaide, the airline continues to blend innovation, wellness, and luxury—making every journey truly elevated.
