Building on the successful rollout of its Premium Economy product in Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad, Emirates has announced the introduction of its Premium Economy class on flights to and from Kolkata, effective July 18, 2025. The move marks the continued expansion of Emirates’ award-winning offering across key Indian cities, providing customers with more choice when making travel plans.

Passengers traveling on the Dubai-Kolkata route can now book Premium Economy seats on flight EK573, which will operate four times weekly (Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays), departing from Kolkata at 20:45 hours and arriving in Dubai at 00:05 hours. Flights to Kolkata, on EK572, depart Dubai at 13:05 hrs and arrive in Kolkata at 19:15 hrs. All times are local.

Travelers can book tickets immediately at emirates.com for travel starting on July 18. Tickets can also be booked on the Emirates App, at Emirates Retail stores, through the Emirates contact centre, or via travel agents.

Mohammad Sarhan, Emirates’ VP – India and Nepal, said: “We are delighted to introduce our highly-acclaimed Premium Economy experience to Kolkata, marking another significant milestone in our commitment to the Indian market. The response to our Premium Economy product in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are confident that travelers in Kolkata will appreciate the blend of comfort, value, and thoughtful touches that make Emirates’ Premium Economy stand out. We remain dedicated to elevating the travel experience for our customers and offering them more choice and flexibility.”

The Premium Economy cabin is thoughtfully designed to offer an enhanced experience, combining comfort and aesthetically pleasing features, including wider cream leather seats, increased legroom, adjustable headrests, deeper seat recline, and raised cushioned leg rests. For those seeking additional comfort and privacy during their journeys, the understated luxury cabins offer a refined upgrade from Economy Class.

In-flight dining in Premium Economy features a curated selection of regional dishes, served on Royal Doulton fine china tableware paired with stainless steel cutlery. An extensive beverage list, featuring a variety of premium wines, exclusive beverages, and refreshments, is also available for passengers to enjoy.
Each seat is equipped with a 13.3-inch HD personal screen, providing access to a wide range of entertainment options on Emirates’ ice in-flight entertainment system. Passengers also have the convenience of connecting their headphones via Bluetooth while enjoying improved Wi-Fi connectivity on select aircraft.

Additionally, Premium Economy passengers can enjoy a generous checked-in baggage allowance of 35kg and an additional 10kg of carry-on baggage.

On Emirates’ latest Boeing 777 aircraft, the Premium Economy cabin features 24 seats, providing passengers with a spacious and elevated travel experience. The product is now available across a growing number of aircraft in the airline’s fleet. Its introduction to Kolkata is a testament to Emirates’ commitment to offering world-class travel options across India, reaffirming its position as a preferred carrier for discerning Indian travelers.

Emirates operates 11 flights per week from Kolkata to Dubai. In addition to EK572/573, which will feature Premium Economy and operate four times weekly, Emirates also operates EK570/571 daily between Kolkata and Dubai.
