Emirates to add Premium Economy on Dubai–Paris A380 service

Emirates will introduce Premium Economy on its daily Airbus A380 services between Dubai and Paris Charles de Gaulle from 25 October, deploying a retrofitted aircraft on flights EK071 and EK072. The cabin will be available on the airline’s Paris operation as part of a 56-seat Premium Economy layout in a 2-4-2 configuration on the front of the main deck.

Paris will become the third French gateway in Emirates’ network to offer the cabin, alongside Lyon and Nice, giving all three France destinations Premium Economy. Tickets are already on sale through the carrier’s website, mobile app, travel agents and its Paris retail store.

The move extends the product to one of Emirates’ key long-haul European routes and continues the carrier’s wider retrofit programme on the A380 fleet. The aircraft rotation remains subject to operational change, but the schedule currently calls for daily deployment on the Dubai–Paris sector.
