The
latest retrofitted A380s will operate on EK017/018 to Manchester from 6 June,
and on EK091/092 to Milan from 1 July.
With
the introduction of Emirates' newly retrofitted A380 to Manchester, the airline
will expand its Premium Economy offering to nearly 5,000 weekly seats in and
out of the UK from June. The enhanced service to Manchester complements the
four daily retrofitted A380s currently serving the Dubai-London Heathrow route,
the Emirates A350 operating to Edinburgh, and the soon-to-launch refurbished
Boeing 777 scheduled to serve London Stansted from May.
Milan
will become Emirates’ second Italian gateway to offer the airline’s latest
cabins and Premium Economy seats following the planned deployment of the
airline’s A350 to Bologna later in June.
These
additions will expand Emirates' network of retrofitted A380 destinations to 19
global points, underscoring the airline's commitment to investing in the very
best customer experience in the sky and adding more premium cabin options and
choice across geographies. By July, travellers from Manchester and Milan will
be able to experience Emirates' latest cabin features onboard the four-class
A380 on the full journey to key points across Australasia and Asia including
Sydney, Singapore, Osaka, Mumbai, Bangalore, and more.
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 a 2-4-2 configuration. Each seat
offers generous pitch and width for working and relaxing, as well as customised
features like in-seat charging points and a side cocktail table. The onboard
experience is rounded off with meticulously selected in-flight amenities, a
curated menu, and extensive beverage options, including the Chandon Vintage
Brut 2016, a global exclusive to Emirates Premium Economy passengers.
Bookings
can be made on emirates.com, the
Emirates App, Emirates’ retail stores or via both online and offline travel
agents.
