EK500/EK501 will ply between Dubai and Mumbai, while EK568/EK569 will serve the Bengaluru route.

Emirates already offers Premium Economy seats to nine destinations, including New York JFK, San Francisco, Houston, London Heathrow, Sydney, Auckland, Christchurch, Melbourne and Singapore. Premium Economy cabins will also make their debut to Los Angeles in July, bringing the number of routes offering the distinctive product to 12 by the end of 2023.
