Emirates deploying retrofitted Airbus A380s to Manchester
Emirates is introducing its newly retrofitted Airbus A380s fitted with its latest cabins, including Premium Economy, to new destinations Manchester and Milan.
The refreshed A380s will operate on EK017/018 to Manchester from 6 June, and on EK091/092 to Milan from 1 July.
With the introduction of Emirates’ newly retrofitted A380 to Manchester, the airline will expand its Premium Economy offering nearly 5,000 weekly seats in and out of the UK from June.
The enhanced service to Manchester complements the four daily retrofitted A380s currently serving the Dubai-London Heathrow route.
Emirates’ Airbus A350 will operate to Edinburgh, while refurbished Boeing 777s will serve London Stansted from May and June respectively.
Emirates currently operates three daily flights from Manchester, and this year celebrates the 15th anniversary of flying to the Northwest gateway.
Milan will become Emirates’ second Italian gateway to offer the airline’s latest cabins and Premium Economy seats.
It follows the planned deployment of the airline’s A350 to Bologna this June.
These additions will expand Emirates’ network of retrofitted Airbus A380 to 19 airports.
On the four-class Emirates A380, the Premium Economy cabin is located at the front of the main deck with 56 seats laid out in a 2-4-2 configuration.
Each seat offers generous pitch size, as well as customised features like in-seat charging points and a side cocktail table.
Bookings can be made on emirates.com, the Emirates App, Emirates’ retail stores or via online and offline travel agencies.
