The airline also plans to ramp up its four-class A380 operations featuring Premium Economy cabins to more than 35 destinations across 20 countries by March 2024.
Under the airline’s US$2 billion retrofit program, Emirates has completely refurbished 12 of its A380 aircraft, featuring the Premium Economy cabin.
