Emirates Launches Full Premium Economy Service

Flyers can expect another distinct Emirates travel experience as the airline introduces its entire Premium Economy service offering onboard and on ground. Emirates launching a Premium Economy cabin will be available to purchase by the public early June 2022.

These highly sought after cabins offer luxurious seats, extra leg room and service that places them in competition with rival airlines offering similar level service but at a Business Class level. Emirates being the only airline in the region to offer a Premium Economy cabin is a groundbreaking move in the airline industry.

The Premimum Economy service will be available on popular A380 routes to London, Paris, Sydney, and Christchurch from August 1st to December 31st, 2022.

"As with everything we do, Emirates Premium Economy will be exceptional in its class, with minute attention paid to every aspect of the customer experience," said Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline. Customers who upgrade from Economy will receive excellent value.

"Since introducing our Premium Economy seats in January 2021, we have received an overwhelming positive response and demand." We currently have six A380s equipped with this cabin class, which limits our initial deployment, but we intend to offer this experience in many more markets across our network in the future. We will begin our retrofit programme to install Premium Economy on 67 A380s and 53 Boeing 777s in November.

Premium Economy Dedicated Airport Experience

By the end of the programme, Emirates will have 126 aircraft provided with Premium Economy cabins, as well as our freshest interiors across other cabins. It is a significant investment to ensure that our customers continue to have the best in-flight experience."

Emirates Premium Economy is in a league of its own, providing an unrivalled signature experience in the industry.
