Emirates Elevates Premium Economy with World-First Electric Privacy Screens
Emirates is redefining the Premium Economy experience with the debut of its first fully electric seat, now featured on the airline’s latest Airbus A350 aircraft. The standout innovation is a motorized, full-height privacy divider positioned between seats, a global industry first for this cabin class. Passengers can effortlessly adjust the screen using integrated controls, allowing them to carve out a secluded personal space for working, dining, or resting while traveling in a comfortable 2-3-2 cabin configuration.
Beyond privacy, the seats are designed for optimal comfort, offering a 20-inch width and a 39-inch pitch. The cradle-style recline allows for deep relaxation without disturbing passengers behind, while the new U-Dream leather headrests and adjustable footrests provide tailored ergonomic support. With the addition of modern conveniences like wireless charging, dedicated USB-C ports, and an integrated phone holder, Emirates continues to set a high bar for mid-tier luxury as it rolls out this enhanced product across its expanding A350 fleet.
