Emirates unveiled its full Premium Economy offering onboard at the Arabian Travel Market 2022 today.
The new cabin class will be available to Emirates customers traveling on popular A380 routes to London, Paris, Sydney from the 1st of August, and Christchurch from December.
Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline said: "As with everything we do, Emirates Premium Economy will be exceptional in its class, with minute attention given to every aspect of the customer experience. Customers trading up from Economy will be getting excellent value."
Emirates Premium Economy Roll Out Schedule
"We currently have six A380s equipped with this cabin class, which limits our initial deployment, but our intention is to offer this experience to many more markets across our network. This November, we will begin our retrofit programme to install Premium Economy on 67 A380s and 53 Boeing 777s. At the end of the programme, Emirates will have 126 aircraft fitted out with Premium Economy cabins, as well as our latest interiors across other cabins. It is a major investment to ensure our customers continue to have the best experience in the sky." Sir Tim Clark said.
On a four-class Emirates A380, the Premium Economy cabin is located at the front of the main deck with 56 seats laid out in 2-4-2 configuration.
On the Emirates Boeing 777, up to 24 Premium Economy seats will be installed in a dedicated cabin section between Business and Economy.
