After Scrapping First Class, Emirates Upgrades to Larger In-Flight Entertainment Screens

Emirates has big plans for the future. The Dubai-based airline’s new Airbus A380 gained an additional 130 economy seats after first class was scrapped. The plane now features 557 economy seats and 58 business-class seats in addition to a business lounge. No legroom was sacrificed, however economy seats did lose half an inch in width.

The company also swapped out its in-flight entertainment systems for even larger ones. With the new upgrade come even more channels, which are now up to 2,186 and feature 50 full TV show box sets and over 500 movies. The new systems will be multilingual, with 14 languages in the interface.

The plane also offers Wi-Fi for passengers, an amenity that is already offered on 142 Emirates aircrafts.

All of these new features debuted earlier this month on the A380 linking Copenhagen and Dubai.
