Emirates Unveils New Premium Economy Seat: It Might Be The World's Best
The airline says the seat is the industry’s first fully electric premium economy model, with 28 seats in a 2-3-2 cabin and retractable privacy screens.
- On Thursday, Emirates launched a premium economy seat for its new Airbus A350 jets, featuring an electrically operated privacy divider, electric recline, and a 4K screen.
- The airline industry's shift toward premium economy arrives as global passenger revenue approaches $900 billion by 2027, with annual growth settling into low single digits.
- Each cabin consists of 28 seats in a 2-3-2 configuration with 393 of pitch and 203 of width, alongside the new U-Dream headrest, wireless charging, and USB-C ports.
- Emirates plans to install this product exclusively on newly delivered Airbus A350s, with no plans to retrofit existing A380s or Boeing aircraft, which will retain the previous generation.
- While 393 of pitch is above average for premium economy, competitors like EVA Air offer 423 of pitch, though the U-Dream headrest and electric controls set a new service standard.
