The availability of Premium Economy is spreading rapidly within the Emirates network and, from next May, it will be available on all Milan Malpensa flights.
Daily Boeing 777-200LR flights with three classes
Starting on 10 May the daily EK101/102 service will be operated by a refurbished Boeing 777-200LR with three classes, including Premium Economy. Thanks to this upgrade, all 21 weekly flights to Dubai and seven to New York will offer Premium Economy class. As part of its ongoing modernization programme, Emirates will complete the upgrade of its first high-density, two-class A380 by mid-April. The aircraft will have a new three-class configuration, with 76 seats in Business Class, 56 in Premium Economy and 437 in Economy Class.
The Italian market is of prime importance
By November, the Dubai-based carrier plans to complete the refurbishment programme for all 15 of its two-class A380s to the new three-class configuration. Emirates' proximity to the Italian market is also evident in its search for pilots: the airline is once again recruiting pilots in Milan, on Monday 2 March at 10:00 and 13:00 and Tuesday 3 March at 10:00, at the Marriott Hotel, Via Giorgio Washington 66. The airline recognizes the high value of Italian human capital: with a significant contingent of over 200 pilots and over 900 cabin crew members from Italy, our country ranks among the top five nationalities represented within the airline.
“Investing in the talent of Italian pilots”
“Being part of the Emirates team means working on one of the most advanced wide-body fleets in the world, connecting passengers to over 150 destinations,- says Marco D'ilario, Emirates' country manager Italy. -Our pilots, based in Dubai, have access to world-class training in centres of excellence that prepare them to face new challenges. In this phase of strong growth, we are ready to invest in the talent of Italian pilots to strengthen our presence and continue to raise the standards of the Emirates experience globally."
