Dubai’s Emirates is preparing to launch a new luxury bedroom product on its Airbus A380 and Boeing 777s, a senior airline executive has said.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of Arabian Travel Market (ATM), Sheikh Majid Al Mualla, divisional senior vice president of the Commercial Operations Centre at Emirates airline, said the new premium product would be “more like a private railway cabin” and will cater for one passenger.
He said the new product, which will be rolled out amongst its existing fleet, would be “more commercially viable for passengers”, when asked about a pricing. London, the most popular for Emirates first class passengers, is likely to be among the first route for the new luxury bedroom product.
In May last year, Sir Tim Clark, president of Emirates, said the Dubai-based carrier was in “advanced stages” of talks to develop a new bedroom concept with airline interior designers.
“It’s all about privacy. That’s very much in our current First Class private suites product, and our new bedroom concept will take it to the next level,” Clark said.
“We’re talking fully enclosed rooms, with all the touches and amenities that you’d expect in hotel or a private bedroom on a luxury yacht, room service and so on. It will be on our A380s, and on our new 777s,” he added.
