00:00The collaborative effort between Emirates, Airbus and Rolls-Royce exemplifies what can

00:22be achieved when we share a commitment to excellence and build a long-term partnership

00:28that makes us all stronger. Together, we have built a legacy of leadership in the aviation

00:33industry, delivering the very best for all our customers around the world. From everyone

00:39at Rolls-Royce, we thank you for this opportunity and for inviting us to Dubai. Our own relationship

00:46with Emirates dates back to 1996, when the airline first selected Rolls-Royce Trent engines

00:52to power its fleet. We have continued our long history together and today I'm proud

00:57to welcome the Trent XWB-84 to Emirates. The Trent XWB-84 is the 6th member of the

01:04Trent family to be introduced and flown by Emirates. The 350-900 in Emirates, colouring

01:12connected cities around the world through its home in Dubai. This delivery is in fact

01:19the 175th delivery from Airbus to Emirates, since the first one 37 years ago in 1987.

01:30Today it is Emirates' second year running, the number one global destination in TripAdvisor's

01:38Traveller's Choice Award. Thanks to the vision of His Highness, thanks to your team, Dubai

01:45hosts the most stunning architecture. It perfectly blends the traditional way of life

01:53with the modern way. It offers unprecedented entertainment and quality of life, as well

02:00as being a bustling business club. It's to provide everyone on board the best possible

02:07in-flight environment and experience. And I'm sure our friends at Airbus will tell

02:14you that Emirates is rather demanding about customisation. So when it comes to our product

02:20and customer experience, an off-the-shelf or cookie-cutter approach is not for us. On

02:26the 350, we have customised the cabin design and layout and added many innovative little

02:32features to delight our customers and help our crew deliver better service. And I hope

02:38you will have a chance to experience it for yourselves later. But the moment you step

02:43on board the Airbus A350, you will notice the sense of space and light, and see the

02:50many thoughtful features and luxury touches in all our cabins. We've always in the past

02:56ensured that the interior look and feel of the cabin is driven by a light colour palette,

03:01which lets the natural light through the windows do a great job to heighten and lighten the

03:07features we've put in there. You'll see the same colour schemes we've used in the previous

03:12aircraft, all light, cheerful, bright. And unlike many of our competent carriers, they

03:18go for dark woods, dark colours, et cetera, and they're very gloomy inside.
