Emirates removes first class on its A380 to fit in more economy seats

THIS airline wants to fit even more passengers into the world’s largest commercial jet. If you thought cattle class was already a tight squeeze, brace yourself.

There’s another first for the world’s biggest aircraft.

Emirates unveiled a redesigned Airbus A380 over the weekend that boasts a record-breaking 615 passenger seats.

The Airbus A380 is already the biggest commercial airliner in the world, with most carrier configurations accommodating around 520 passengers. Before Emirates debuted its new plane, Air France’s A 380s held the most passengers with 538 seats.

By cutting out first class, Emirates has gained 130 more economy seats. Picture: Emirates

Emirates’ new design eliminates bulky first class seats, instead offering just two classes — economy and business. By scrapping the first class and trimming 18 flat-bed seats from business class, the airline was able to add 130 economy seats, or 13 rows with 10 seats in each.

The airline debuted two new reconfigured aircraft at the Dubai airshow this week. The first plane is expected to start flying on the Dubai to Copenhagen route on December 1.

The two-class A380 will only be available on select routes and all of Emirates’ 77 weekly services from Australia to Dubai will continue to operate with first, business and economy class.

Lots of people to squeeze into this A380.

According to Seat Guru, the A380’s previous three-class configuration boasted 15 passenger bathrooms — and the new configuration has just 17. Will the extra two be enough for 100 more people?

At least when it comes to boarding, the planes double-decker design allows for passengers to board through both upper and lower entrance ways but with so many more people, it will still take longer to get everyone inside.
