Emirates introduces world’s first electric Premium Economy seat with full-height privacy screen

Dubai: Emirates has unveiled the world’s first electrically powered Premium Economy seat featuring a full-height adjustable privacy screen, further enhancing its award-winning Premium Economy experience. The new seat will debut on newly delivered Airbus A350 aircraft, offering passengers greater comfort, privacy and control over their personal space.

Passengers can raise, lower and lock the electric privacy divider using the seat controls, creating a more private setting for relaxing, dining or working. The fully powered seat also allows customers to adjust their preferred position at the touch of a button, with dedicated lounge and meal modes

The new Premium Economy cabin features just 28 seats. Each 20-inch-wide seat offers up to 39 inches of seat pitch and reclines into a cradle position without intruding into the row behind.

Comfort is further enhanced by Emirates’ U-Dream headrest featuring adjustable leather wings for personalized head and neck support. A manually deployable leather footrest provides additional relaxation.

For the first time in Emirates Premium Economy, passengers will also have access to wireless charging, alongside USB-C charging and a tray table with an integrated phone holder.

Since its launch in 2022, Emirates Premium Economy has continued to expand across the airline’s growing A350 fleet.
