Emirates expands premium economy offering on routes to Amman, Mumbai, Muscat and Bahrain

In Muscat, all nine weekly flights will feature Emirates’ A350 aircraft beginning October 30. The Airbus A350 will be deployed on EK862/863 services every Thursday and Saturday.

Bahrain is set to receive an additional retrofitted Boeing 777 for EK833/834 every Thursday from December 4. Once this deployment is complete, Bahrain routes will be exclusively served by aircraft equipped with signature cabins such as Premium Economy and refreshed Business Class.

These changes are part of Emirates’ efforts to expand its Premium Economy cabin offering across its network. By winter, the airline expects to serve 68 cities with aircraft fitted with Premium Economy cabins; in 36 of those cities, all flights will exclusively feature the upgraded cabin.

“As demand grows for premium travel, Emirates is strategically scaling up its Premium Economy footprint. By the end of 2025, Emirates expects to offer over 2 million Premium Economy seats. Today, Emirates offers over 1.8 million Premium Economy seats across its network.”

The airline’s retrofit programme is progressing quickly. So far, 67 aircraft have been refurbished out of a planned total of 219—comprising both A380s and Boeing 777s—with one aircraft completed approximately every three weeks. In addition to retrofits, Emirates currently operates nine A350s serving fifteen destinations.

Tickets for these upgraded services are available via emirates.com, the Emirates App, retail stores or through travel agents.
