Emirates has just confirmed that it will launch its new Premium Economy expeience in Australia, with the product initially exclusive to limited high-capacity A380 destinations including Sydney, London and Paris.
Bookings will open from 01 June, for travel on the initial routes from 01 August, with the addition of Christchurch flights from December this year.
Located at the front of the main deck on EK’s Airbus A380s, the new cabin class offers “luxurious seats, more legroom and a service to rival many airlines’ business offering,” the carrier said. A total of 56 Premium Economy seats will be available on A380s, while up to 24 will be installed on EK Boeing 777s in a dedicated cabin section between Business and Economy.
Barry Brown, Emirates Divisional Vice President for Australasia, described the introduction of Premium Economy on the Sydney service as a “game changer for Australia…it’s an important part of our longstanding commitment to the Australian market, investing in our product and offering our travellers a world class experience over the last 25 years of flying with us”.
