Emirates is strengthening its Premium Economy and refreshed Business Class offering by deploying more of its next-generation Airbus A350s and retrofitted Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s across four key cities in the Middle East and West Asia: Amman, Mumbai, Muscat, and Bahrain.
Starting 26 October 2025, Amman will welcome a four-class A380 with Premium Economy on EK903/904, while Mumbai will receive a retrofitted Boeing 777 on EK504/505, offering 22 weekly flights with the latest cabins. From 30 October, Muscat will see all nine weekly flights operated by the new A350, and by 4 December, Bahrain will be served exclusively with upgraded Boeing 777s, including Premium Economy and refreshed Business Class.
These rollouts mean that by winter, Emirates will operate 635+ weekly flights equipped with Premium Economy, serving 68 cities globally, 36 of them exclusively. With demand for premium travel on the rise, Emirates expects to provide over 2 million Premium Economy seats by the end of 2025, up from 1.8 million today.
The ambitious retrofit programme—one of the largest in aviation history—is progressing at a pace of one aircraft every three weeks, with 67 aircraft completed so far out of the planned 219 (110 A380s and 109 Boeing 777s). Emirates also currently operates nine A350s to 15 destinations, further expanding its modern, consistent, and premium travel experience.
