Emirates is preparing to enhance its services with the latest Airbus A380s equipped with upgraded cabin features, including a Premium Economy option, at both Manchester and Milan airports.

Starting from June 6, Emirates will operate its newly retrofitted A380s on EK017/018 flights to Manchester, followed by services to Milan commencing July 1 on EK091/092. This expansion of routes will provide nearly 5,000 Premium Economy seats weekly in and out of the UK.

The retrofitted A380 service to Manchester will complement existing operations on the Dubai-London Heathrow route, where four of these enhanced aircraft are currently deployed. Moreover, the introduction of new A350 services to Edinburgh and the refurbished Boeing 777 for London Stansted will bolster Emirates’ UK connectivity.
