Emirates plans to expand its Premium Economy offering to 4 cities in the Middle East and West Asia on board its new Airbus A350 aircraft, in addition to its retrofitted Airbus A380 and Boeing B777 aircraft.
Premium Economy seats and the new Business Class will be available on more flights to and from Amman, Mumbai, Muscat and Bahrain, giving customers a greater opportunity to experience the premium onboard products for which Emirates is renowned, according to a post on the Emirates website.
This is in addition to a seamless and consistent experience on connecting flights via Dubai to destinations also served by the new Airbus A350 and the retrofitted Boeing B777 and Airbus A380 aircraft.
Emirates plans to operate its retrofitted and new aircraft as follows:
Amman: From October 26, 2025, on the Airbus A380 in a four-class configuration on the two daily flights EK903 and EK904.
Mumbai: From October 26, 2025, on the retrofitted Boeing B777 across 22 weekly flights on flights EK504 and EK505.
Muscat: From October 30, 2025, on its new Airbus A350 on flights EK862 and EK863 on Thursdays and Saturdays, allowing its customers to experience the new aircraft on all 9 of its weekly flights to Muscat.
Bahrain: From December 4, 2025, Emirates will add its retrofitted Boeing B777 to Bahrain on flights EK833 and EK834 on Thursdays.
These additions boost the availability of Premium Economy seats on more than 635 weekly flights across the Emirates network. With the arrival of winter, the airline will serve 68 cities with Premium Economy, 36 of which will have flights operated entirely with Premium Economy cabins.
With growing demand for premium travel, Emirates is strategically expanding its Premium Economy seat offering and is expected to provide more than 2 million seats by the end of 2025. The airline currently offers more than 1.8 million seats in this class across its network.
Emirates' fleet retrofit program is one of the largest retrofit programs in the aviation industry, involving a comprehensive refurbishment of the aircraft in a process that takes 3 weeks per aircraft.
To date, Emirates has completed the retrofit of 67 aircraft under a plan covering 219 aircraft, including 110 Airbus A380s and 109 Boeing B777s. The airline also currently operates 9 new Airbus A350 aircraft to 15 destinations.
