Emirates will introduce its new Airbus A380s, featuring the latest cabins including Premium Economy, to Manchester and Milan. These retrofitted A380s will begin operating on the EK017/018 route to Manchester from June 6, and on the EK091/092 route to Milan starting July 1.

The airline's expansion of Premium Economy will allow nearly 5,000 weekly seats in and out of the UK, beginning in June. This service enhances the existing four daily retrofitted A380s on the Dubai-London Heathrow route, the Emirates A350 on the Edinburgh route, and the newly refurbished Boeing 777 which will begin service to London Stansted in May.

In addition to Manchester, Milan will become Emirates’ second gateway in Italy to feature the airline’s latest cabins. This follows plans to deploy the A350 to Bologna later in June. Emirates will now serve 19 destinations globally with these retrofitted A380s, reflecting the airline's commitment to enhancing customer experience and offering more premium cabin options.

Travelers can book seats via the Emirates website, the Emirates App, retail stores, as well as through online and offline travel agents.

Aircraft deployment may occur earlier if refurbishment finishes ahead of schedule.
