DUBAI -- Emirates announced at the Dubai Airshow 2021 today that it will retrofit 105 of its modern wide-body aircraft with its Premium Economy product, in addition to other cabin enhancements. The 18-month retrofit programme, scheduled to begin at the end of 2022, will be entirely conducted at Emirates’ state-of-the-art Engineering Centre in Dubai. It will see 52 Emirates A380s and 53 Boeing 777s fitted with a new cabin class – the airline’s highly lauded Premium Economy.

Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline, said, "Emirates is investing in this retrofit programme to ensure that we continue to serve our customers’ needs, and provide the best experiences in the sky. Since we introduced our Premium Economy seats a year back, we’ve received a hugely positive response. Customers have been amazed by the quality and comfort.

We are also considering a brand new Business Class product. More details will be revealed in due course."

Malaysia lifts travel restrictions for fully vaccinated people
Malaysia on Sunday lifted interstate and international travel restrictions for residents fully vaccinated against Covid-19, as the country achieved its target of inoculating 90 per cent of its adult population. Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the government has agreed to allow fully vaccinated Malaysians to travel overseas without applying for permission. The new rules take effect on Monday.
The government is preparing to shift into an endemic Covid-19 phase where it will not impose wide lockdowns again if cases rise, Ismail Sabri told a news conference. “We have to train ourselves to live with Covid, because Covid may not be eliminated fully,” he said.
Nearly 65 per cent of the country’s 32 million population, including those aged 12 to 17, were fully vaccinated as of Saturday. The Southeast Asian nation has recorded 2.3 million coronavirus infections and 27,265 deaths from Covid-19.
