Emirates will deploy its retrofitted A380 on the Dubai-Paris route from October 25, 2026, introducing its Premium Economy cabin and latest products to the French capital.
The aircraft will operate daily on EK071 and EK072, meaning
all three Emirates gateways in France will offer Premium Economy.
The airline said demand for the cabin remains strong, with
one in 10 passengers travelling in Premium Economy between France and Dubai
since its launch in Lyon and Nice.
Emirates highlighted strong long-haul demand from markets
including Australia, Japan, Singapore, India and Thailand, where travellers
seek greater comfort and space on journeys exceeding 10 hours.
Cedric Renard, Emirates’ Country Manager in France said,
“France is an important and longstanding market for Emirates, and we’re
delighted to now offer our newest cabin experience at all gateways we serve.
We’ve seen strong customer response to Premium Economy in both Lyon and Nice,
alongside growing demand for Premium Economy across our global network.
Expanding the cabin to Paris is a natural next step, giving more customers in
France the opportunity to experience the exceptional comfort, world-class
service and thoughtful details that distinguish this cabin.
“Paris is one of our busiest global gateways for both in and
outbound travellers. This latest investment reflects our confidence in the
market, and our long-term commitment to serving our customers with more choice,
flexibility and premium travel options.” -TradeArabia News Service
