Emirates has announced the introduction of its Premium Economy class on flights EK434/435 to Brisbane, expanding its service in Australia. This addition places Brisbane alongside Sydney and Melbourne as cities served by Emirates' retrofitted aircraft featuring the airline's acclaimed product. The move is part of Emirates' ongoing effort to offer Queensland residents enhanced travel experiences with upgraded interiors and improved cabins across all classes.

By April 1, 2025, Emirates plans to provide nearly 4,000 Premium Economy seats in Australia through two daily services from both Sydney and Melbourne. A third service from Melbourne will commence on March 30, 2025, utilizing a retrofitted Boeing 777 for flights EK404/405. Australian travelers can also access this popular Premium Economy option on routes to major destinations via Dubai, including London, Vienna, and Riyadh.

Emirates has been operating in Brisbane for over two decades and currently offers double daily flights between Dubai and Brisbane. With a total of 77 weekly services connecting Australia's largest cities—Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide—to more than 140 global destinations via Dubai, Emirates continues to facilitate seamless international connectivity for Australian passengers.
