Dubai-based carrier Emirates has announced the first destinations to receive its newly refurbished Boeing 777 aircraft with revamped cabins.
The airline will introduce the upgraded 777s on services to Geneva from August 11, Tokyo Haneda from September 1 and Brussels from September 11.
This offers passengers more opportunities to experience Emirates’ signature Premium Economy product on the type. The aircraft will also debut the airline’s new 1-2-1 configured Business Class seats for the first time.
“With the addition of the newly retrofitted Boeing 777s to our fleet, we’re capturing the opportunity to introduce our highly acclaimed products like Premium Economy to more cities already served by this aircraft type in our network, in addition to more seating variety in four classes,” Adnan Kazim, Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer at Emirates, said.
Emirates has earmarked $3 billion for the largest known retrofit programme in the industry.
By February 2025, it aims to serve over 36 cities with Premium Economy across its A380 and Boeing 777 fleets as well as future A350 aircraft.
Starting from July 1, the first 777 will spend approximately two weeks undergoing transformation including First Class, 38 new Business Class seats, 24 Premium Economy seats and 256 Economy seats.
“Borrowing inspiration from our flagship A380 in every cabin, our Boeing 777 with revamped interiors boast the very best in customer comfort and will feature modern design details and signature cabin finishings, with a new Business Class cabin that provides more privacy for our customers, in addition to other thoughtful touches that underscore our exceptional value proposition. Our investment and intense focus on offering the best possible product across every cabin class also ensures we provide a consistent experience on both the Boeing 777s and A380s,” Kazim added.
