The Dubai ruler was given a tour of Emirates Airlines’ ongoing cabin refurbishment programme
The airline currently services nine destinations across India
By 2024, all 67 of the airline’s A380s assigned for refurbishment will have returned to service
The airline will be serving close to a third of its network on 85 A380 aircraft by end of the year
Dubai will definitely remain a core strategy for Emirates, opines the carrier’s chief commercial officer
From June 1, 2022, the carrier has commenced premium economy bookings on routes to London, Paris and Sydney
The new cabin class will be available to Emirates customers travelling on A380 routes to London Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Sydney and Christchurch
The deliveries will bring Emirates’ total fleet of A380s to 118 units
The change should help adapt the Emirates fleet to a post-Covid travel market in which well-heeled leisure passengers may be prepared to pay more for extra personal space
Premium economy offers 40-inches of leg space, a seat that is 19.5 inches wide and reclines 8 inches
