Emirates expands its Premium Economy to 31 of its 41 European destinations, including Paris Charles de Gaulle which joined the network on October 25. The airline also adds more winter flights from Dubai.

As part of a multi-billion-dollar retrofit programme, Emirates upgrades its fleet with newer Airbus A350 aircraft that feature full-height privacy screens in Premium Economy seats. It will deploy its A380 to 21 European destinations this winter and run an average of 78 flights a day between Dubai and Europe.

Emirates encourages passengers to turn their Dubai stopover into a short holiday during the winter season, with Helsinki now serving as a connecting point for onward travel.

By late 2026, Emirates plans to fit Premium Economy to well over a hundred aircraft. The upgraded cabin offers wider seats, additional legroom and improved dining compared to Economy Class.
