EK brings Premium Economy to Durban

Emirates is deploying the A350 to Durban from March 1, 2027, on its daily EK 775/776 service.

Emirates first launched Premium Economy in Cape Town and Johannesburg in September 2025. The Premium Economy cabin provides more leg room and recline, a side cocktail table and a 13.3-inch personal entertainment screen. Premium Economy passengers also have a dedicated check-in counter and priority boarding at King Shaka International Airport.

“We look forward to welcoming travellers from Durban on board the A350 in the new year when they can experience elevated onboard amenities and Emirates’ signature service that make this aircraft a passenger favourite,” says Afzal Parambil, Regional Manager for Southern Africa, for Emirates.
