Emirates has reached a landmark in its fleet retrofit programme, completing the reconfiguration of its first two-class A380 into a three-cabin layout.
The newly refurbished aircraft is already in service on the Dubai-Birmingham route, featuring 76 Business Class seats, 56 Premium Economy seats and 437 Economy seats.
The headline change: Premium Economy is making its A380 upper deck debut for the first time, offering spacious leather seats in a 2-3-2 configuration with full leg and footrests, a 13.3-inch personal screen, adjustable headrests and elevated dining.
Managed entirely in-house by Emirates Engineering in Dubai, the broader retrofit programme has now overhauled 95 aircraft - 42 A380s and 53 Boeing 777s - representing more than a third of the fleet. This converted A380 is the first of 15 two-class aircraft scheduled for the same treatment.
The ink on the US-Iran framework agreement was barely dry before the recriminations began, not from Tehran's enemies in Washington, but from the very allies Donald Trump was supposed to be protecting.
Authorities in southern Lebanon warned people displaced by three months of war between Israel and Hezbollah against rushing home on Monday despite a U.S.-Iran deal to end the wider conflict, as Israel said it would not withdraw troops from the south.
Let us call it what it is. The framework agreement on Iran is not a peace deal. It is a capitulation dressed up in diplomatic language, and its most immediate victims are the two countries that have paid the highest price in blood and treasure to confront Iran's aggression: Israel and Lebanon.
