Emirates Brings Privacy Screens to Premium Economy

Emirates has launched a new premium economy seat on its Airbus A350 aircraft featuring a full-height, electrically operated privacy divider that passengers can raise and lock from a personal control pad. The seat also includes electric recline with preset lounge and meal modes, a leather U-shaped headrest, deployable footrest, wireless charging, and a 4K screen. This move comes as the airline industry enters a period of slower growth, with airlines shifting focus from passenger volume to yield, making premium economy a key driver of profitable revenue.
