HandoutEmirates has unveiled the world's first electric premium economy seat, which comes with a full-height adjustable privacy screen and other business class features.
Only 28 seats are installed in a spacious 2-3-2 configuration in Emirates' Airbus A350 aircraft. Each premium economy seat measures 20 inches wide and offer up to 39 inches of seat pitch.

Emirates has also upgraded its U-Dream leather headrest designed by Safran Seats, with adjustable wings for better neck and head support, and a footrest to reduce leg fatigue.
