Emirates announced that its latest flagship A380 aircraft will arrive at London Heathrow from January 4 2021. There are a number of luxurious upgrades across each cabin.

Emirates last week unveiled its latest A380 with brand new premium economy seats that offer a generous seat pitch of up to 40 inches, in addition to new economy class seats similar to those installed on its latest Boeing 777-300ER gamechanger aircraft, and

Refreshed colours and fittings across all cabins have been part of the upgrade.

The airline has safely and gradually restored its network over the past months, bringing back signature experiences onboard and on the ground with comprehensive measures in place for the health and safety of its customers and employees.
