Emirates has introduced what it says is the world’s first electrically powered Premium Economy seat, featuring a full-height adjustable privacy screen between every seat.

The new seats will debut on newly delivered Airbus A350 aircraft.

The Premium Economy cabin has 28 seats in a 2-3-2 configuration, with seats measuring 20 inches wide and offering up to 39 inches of pitch.

Passengers can raise or lower the privacy divider using integrated seat controls and adjust seating positions, including dedicated lounge and meal modes.

The new seats also feature wireless charging, USB-C power, a phone holder and Emirates’ U-Dream headrest, alongside leather footrests.

Passengers can access the airline’s ice inflight entertainment system through a 13.3-inch 4K HDR touchscreen.

The Premium Economy experience includes gourmet meals served on Royal Doulton china, premium beverages and exclusive amenity kits featuring Aveda skincare products.

Launched in 2022, Emirates Premium Economy is now available across markets served by its A350 aircraft and has received multiple international awards, including Best Premium Economy Class at the Business Traveller Middle East Awards in 2024 and 2025. -TradeArabia News Service
