UAE’s largest airline Emirates will be displaying its four-class Airbus A380 aircraft at the sixth edition of the Bahrain International Airshow (BIAS), taking place from 9 to 11 November 2022.
This is the third time that the Emirates is bringing the world’s largest commercial aircraft to the Bahrain Airshow. At the last edition, the aircraft attracted 11,000 visitors, who experienced its latest interior cabins and innovations.
This year, visitors will be able to check out the A380’s latest products including refreshed cabins, its popular newest generation OnBoard Lounge and Shower Spa, as well as the airline’s much talked Premium Economy Class cabin.
The Emirates A380 Premium Economy cabin on display offers 56 seats in a 2-4-2 cabin layout. Each seat has a generous pitch of up to 40-inches, is 19.5 inches wide, and comfortably reclines 8 inches with ample room to stretch out.
Emirates said that “it is the largest operator of Airbus A380 aircraft in the world, with close to 80 aircraft presently in active service flying to 37 destinations in 25 countries, with more cities set to receive the double-decker by the end of 2022.”
Emirates will retrofit more than 120 aircraft with Premium Economy seats starting this month as part of a $2 billion investment in the onboard experience, which also includes elevated dining options and more sustainable choices.
“While the A380 will definitely make a huge splash, the much smaller Emirates Flight Training Academy’s Embraer Phenom 100EV jet will also be at the show, and instructors will be on hand to provide tours of the training aircraft,” according to the statement.
The Phenom 100EV is one of five such aircraft in EFTA’s fleet, which also includes 22 Cirrus SR22 G6. The Phenom 100EV features state-of-the-art avionics and the industry’s first-ever touchscreen glass flight deck designed for light turbine aircraft, providing graphical flight planning training for cadets.
