No extra padding. No additional entertainment hours. No new upholstery. Emirates Airlines is developing a brand new economy class seat \u2013 bold, better and beyond those usual improvements<\/strong>. Emirates\u2019 next-gen economy seat design, the first of its kind in the industry, will take the aviation world by storm, according to the airline\u2019s president Sir Tim Clark, who describes it as a \u201cgame changer\u201d for economy class travelers.<\/p>\n

The new seat design for economy travel cabins on Emirates flights<\/a><\/span> to India, USA, China, and other countries will leverage vertical space to enhance comfort. Seat height \u2013 neither seat width nor seat pitch \u2013 is the focus of unusual seating improvement for the Dubai-based airline this time. The design has already been prototyped for seat manufacturers and aviation regulators.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Vertical enhancement of economy class seats is a signature innovation, like Emirates\u2019 virtual windows in the first class cabins of B777-300ER planes<\/strong>. The new seats will be taller by 4 to 5 inches to improve the way the seat height supports our body posture and contour, according to Tim Clark, one of the most revered leaders in aviation, who is credited with driving the growth of Emirates Airlines from a two-plane startup in 1985 to one of the best international airlines<\/strong><\/a><\/span> in the world.<\/p>\n

The more legroom, the more premium fare. In Economy Class, the wider the seats, the higher the ticket prices<\/strong>. By utilizing the vertical cabin space, Emirates Airlines aims to elevate your seating comfort in Economy without charging a premium. Emirates\u2019 economy flight seats are wider and more spacious than Air India\u2019s and other airlines\u2019. Currently, seat height is the only area wherein the airline has some room for improvement without reducing cabin density.<\/p>\n

Emirates\u2019 new economy seats height has challenges<\/strong><\/h4>\n

“The more height a seat has, the more space it needs to recline back. The reclining of one\u2019s seat causing discomfort to the other behind is often the reason for inflight scuffles among economy class passengers. Given the cases of passengers getting into an argument over unfair reclining of seats, Emirates\u2019 tall seat design for Economy travel cabins seems to be a move against basic air travel etiquette<\/a><\/span>,<\/strong>” said Sourav Agarwal, Senior Editor of Travel Beats.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A more serious concern than the above is obstructed viewing of passengers for the cabin crew. Emirates\u2019 new economy seats height (to be increased by 4 to 5 inches) could block the line of sight<\/strong>, one of the inflight safety requirements for the cabin crew. However, President Tim Clark shrugged off this concern by saying that cameras are installed inside Economy Class cabins of modern aircraft like A380s in the fleet of Emirates Airlines. Passengers activity and safety can be monitored through inflight cameras.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
