Emirates Expands Premium Economy Across Global Network
Emirates is accelerating the rollout of its Premium Economy cabin as it introduces retrofitted Boeing 777s and new Airbus A350 aircraft on dozens of routes worldwide. By July 1, the airline plans to offer its latest onboard products, including Premium Economy, on more than 84 routes spanning Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Middle East.
Key near-term additions include new or expanded daily A350 services to Copenhagen, Phuket, and Cape Town. From June 1, Emirates will add a second daily Dubai–Copenhagen flight. From July 1, third daily services to Phuket and Cape Town will begin, all operated by A350 aircraft featuring Premium Economy alongside updated Business and Economy cabins. The added frequencies are aimed at meeting expected summer travel demand and improving global connectivity through Dubai.
The airline is also deploying Premium Economy aircraft to cities including Rome, Taipei, Barcelona, Mexico City, Brisbane, Addis Ababa, and Karachi, with a mix of A350s and retrofitted Boeing 777 variants entering service between January and May. Additional upgrades are planned across the Gulf, South Asia, and Africa, as Emirates continues to standardize its premium offering across the fleet.
Tickets are available through Emirates’ direct channels and travel agents. Aircraft deployment timelines may shift depending on refurbishment schedules.
