Emirates will introduce Premium Economy on its daily retrofitted Airbus A380 service between Dubai and Paris from 25 October 2026, extending the cabin to the French capital for the first time. The airline will operate the upgraded aircraft on EK071 and EK072 between Dubai International and Paris Charles de Gaulle, completing Premium Economy availability across its three French destinations.
The A380 will feature Emirates’ 56-seat Premium Economy cabin in a 2-4-2 layout, alongside the carrier’s latest onboard product. Passengers departing Paris in the new cabin will have access to priority check-in and priority boarding, while the service gives the airline a consistent Premium Economy offering in Paris, Lyon and Nice. The deployment also adds the product to one of Emirates’ flagship long-haul routes and broadens the carrier’s premium offering on the France market.
