Emirates is set to deploy its retrofitted Airbus A380 to Manchester and Milan by introducing its latest Airbus A380 aircraft.
The upgraded ‘superjumbo’ features the airline’s newest cabin configurations, including the highly sought-after Premium Economy class cabin.
Starting June 6th, the newly retrofitted A380 will operate the EK017/018 service connecting Dubai and Manchester.
Following shortly after, from July 1st, the EK091/092 route between Dubai and Milan will also be served by these upgraded aircraft.
This strategic deployment signifies Emirates’ commitment to providing a superior travel experience and expanding its Premium Economy offerings across its network.
Manchester Operations
The introduction of the retrofitted A380 to Manchester will significantly boost the availability of Emirates’ Premium Economy seats on UK routes.
By June, the airline will offer nearly 5,000 weekly Premium Economy seats to and from the UK. This enhancement complements Emirates’ existing Premium Economy services. These include four daily retrofitted A380s operating between Dubai and London Heathrow. The Airbus A350 is currently flying to Edinburgh.
Additionally, the soon-to-be-launched refurbished Boeing 777 will service the London Stansted route starting in May.
This expansion underscores Emirates’ dedication to catering to the growing demand for a comfortable and value-driven premium travel option in the UK market.
Milan Operations
Milan will become the second Italian city to welcome Emirates’ latest cabin innovations and Premium Economy seats. This follows the planned deployment of the airline’s A350 to Bologna later in June.
These additions will expand Emirates’ network of destinations served by its retrofitted A380s to an impressive 19 global locations.
This significant investment strategically adds more premium cabin options across various geographies.
By July, passengers flying from Manchester and Milan will have the opportunity to experience Emirates’ latest cabin features, including Premium Economy, throughout their entire journey to key destinations across Australasia and Asia.
These include popular cities such as Sydney, Singapore, Osaka, Mumbai, Bangalore, and many more. This seamless travel experience on the four-class A380 ensures consistent comfort and service for long-haul travelers.
Premium Economy Cabin
The Premium Economy cabin on Emirates’ four-class A380 is thoughtfully designed to offer a superior level of comfort and convenience.
Located at the front of the main deck, the cabin features 56 spacious seats arranged in a comfortable 2-4-2 configuration.
Each seat boasts generous pitch and width, providing ample space for both work and relaxation. Passengers can also benefit from customized features such as in-seat charging points to keep their devices powered and a convenient side cocktail table for added functionality.
To further enhance the onboard experience, Emirates has curated a range of in-flight amenities for its Premium Economy passengers.
This includes a carefully selected menu featuring delicious and diverse culinary options, complemented by an extensive beverage selection.
Notably, Premium Economy passengers can exclusively enjoy the prestigious Chandon Vintage Brut 2016, adding a touch of luxury to their journey.
Conclusion
Emirates’ introduction of its latest Airbus A380s on the Manchester and Milan routes further broadens reach for its highly acclaimed Premium Economy cabin.
This strategic move expands the availability of premium seating to meet the rise in market demand for high end travel options.
