Emirates is updating more of its planes and adding Premium Economy seats on several popular routes. Since late 2022, the airline has revamped 60 aircraft, including Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s. The Dubai-headquartered airline is upgrading one plane roughly every three weeks.
Zurich Route Gets Premium Economy in 2026
