Emirates Airline has unveiled a brand new Premium Economy cabin product together with enhancements and a refreshed look across all cabins onboard its newest A380 aircraft.

The newest A380 aircraft was delivered from Airbus’ Hamburg facility last week. The airline is expecting delivery of the remaining 5 A380s with Premium Economy cabins over 2021 and 2022. Emirates will also install the premium economy seats on some of its Boeing 777X aircraft which are scheduled to join the fleet in 2023. It is also considering plans to retrofit its existing A380 fleet.

The Emirates A380 is already one of the most sought-after travel experiences in the skies, and now we’ve made it even better. While others cut back, Emirates is working hard to restore the products and services that we’ve had to suspend or adjust due to pandemic precautions, and introduce new offerings and enhancements. True to our fly better promise, Emirates continues to invest to offer our customers the best possible experience. Our Premium Economy product was carefully developed in keeping with Emirates’ brand positioning as a full-service airline of the highest quality. Our First, Business and Economy experiences reset industry standards when they were introduced, and we are confident that our Premium Economy will also make its mark as a distinct premium offering. Until we have a viable number of seats in our inventory to bring to market, we plan to offer the Emirates Premium Economy experience as a complimentary upgrade to valued customers. We’ll also deploy our newest A380 aircraft on various routes so that our customers can experience our latest offering in all classes
