Emirates has introduced its retrofitted Boeing 777 with Premium Economy cabins on flights to the Maldives and Sri Lanka, enhancing travel options for passengers seeking a more elevated in-flight experience.
The upgraded aircraft now operates on Dubai–Malé flights EK656/657 and EK660/661, offering refreshed interiors across all cabins. Starting 18 July, the four-class Boeing 777 will also serve Dubai–Colombo route EK650/651, becoming the airline’s second daily Sri Lanka service to feature Premium Economy.
This move expands Emirates’ Premium Economy footprint, which is now available on over 40 routes globally. The offering includes 24 spacious seats in a 2-4-2 layout, 6-way adjustable headrests, and generous baggage allowances—35kg for checked-in and 10kg for carry-on.
The retrofitted Boeing 777 also features redesigned Business and First Class cabins, drawing inspiration from the Emirates A380, with upgraded materials, flatbed seats, and large HD entertainment screens.
Flights can be booked via emirates.com, the Emirates App, or through travel agents and retail stores.
