Emirates has announced that it will deploy its retrofitted Airbus A380 on the Dubai-Paris route starting October 25, 2026, introducing its Premium Economy cabin to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). The retrofitted aircraft will operate daily flights EK071 and EK072.
This development completes the airline's rollout of Premium Economy across all three of its French gateways, which also include Lyon-Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS) and Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE).
According to historical records, Emirates Engineering previously initiated a multi-billion-dollar investment program to fully refurbish 219 Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft, which supports the ongoing rollout of these upgraded cabin products across its global network.
