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.”
Due to the positive feedback since launching in January 2021, Emirates revealed the it will continue to expand its fleet of Premium Economy.
“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,”
Clark added.
Emirates previously revealed at the Arabian Travel Market that the premium economy option will be available to book to four destinations this year.
