Middle Eastern airline Emirates plans to expand its Airbus A350-900 network to seven other destinations, including Africa's first Asia-Pacific region.

All A350 deployments will take place from June 1st to September 1st, starting in Tunis and Amman.
The Dubai-based carrier has plans to increase A350 frequencies to Bahrain and Kuwait as part of the rollout, and introduce types to Bologna by one month.
