Emirates recently rolled out the red carpet at Tokyo Narita International Airport, offering an exclusive peek at its revamped A380 aircraft. This special event showcased the highly-touted Premium Economy product, now available on the Tokyo Narita-Dubai route, following its introduction in Japan in December 2023.
Trade partners and media were treated to an immersive tour of Emirates’ latest innovations. The tour highlighted not only the Premium Economy class but also the upgraded First and Business Class cabins and the aircraft’s revamped interiors. This initiative underscores Emirates’ commitment to evolving its services for the Japanese market and upholds its promise to deliver unparalleled travel experiences.
Premium Economy: A Class Apart
Satish Sethi, Emirates’ Country Manager for Japan, expressed the airline’s pride in the reception of Premium Economy since its debut on Dubai/Narita flights. This new offering aligns with Emirates’ goal to provide Japanese travelers with diverse travel options, emphasizing service excellence and comfort. The Premium Economy class has redefined travel standards, combining meticulous design with top-tier service quality.
On December 20, Narita International Airport became the first destination in East Asia to welcome Emirates’ four-class A380, equipped with the unique Premium Economy product. This cabin, positioned at the front of the main deck, consists of 56 seats in a 2-4-2 layout. Every detail in this space has been carefully crafted to enhance the passenger experience, including features like in-seat charging points and side cocktail tables. Passengers can enjoy a variety of curated in-flight amenities, creative menus, and an extensive selection of beverages.
Global Reach of Emirates’ Premium Economy
Now, Emirates’ Premium Economy is available on flights to 15 destinations across the globe, including major cities like New York JFK, Los Angeles, and London Heathrow. The expansion of this product demonstrates Emirates’ commitment to providing a superior travel experience to passengers worldwide.
Alongside the Premium Economy introduction, Emirates has also refreshed the interiors of its A380s. These enhancements showcase Emirates’ signature ghaf tree motif and include new design elements and color palettes in the carpeting, wall panels, and wood finishings. These aesthetic improvements ensure a delightful and comfortable journey for passengers across all cabins.
