Emirates has unveiled the first cities on its network to be served with its newest Boeing 777 cabin interiors. The airline plans to introduce its refurbished B777s to Geneva, Tokyo Haneda, and Brussels, offering customers more opportunities to experience the airline’s signature Premium Economy on this aircraft, and for the first time Emirates’ next-generation Business Class seats, set in a new 1-2-1 configuration.

Adnan Kazim, Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer of Emirates Airline said: “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.”

He added: “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.”

The first upgraded Emirates Boeing 777 products will operate on the following services:

- EK 83/84 to and from Geneva from August 11

- EK 312/313 to and from Tokyo Haneda from September 1

- EK 183/184 to and from Brussels from September 11

Starting from July 1st, the first Emirates Boeing 777 will undergo its nose-to-tail cabin interior facelift with the whole process taking approximately two weeks before the aircraft goes back into service. Plans include the refurbishment of the First Class cabin, installation of 38 new Business Class seats in an updated 1-2-1 seating configuration, along with 24 of the latest Premium Economy seats, and 256 Economy Class seats.

All Business Class seats on the newly refurbished Boeing 777 focus on personalized privacy and elevated comfort. The staggered seating arrangement ensures aisle access for every seat. Features include a touch screen seat controller for in-flight entertainment and seat operation, a personal mini-bar, a large table, ample stowage for personal devices, charging outlets among others. The Boeing 777 Business Class cabin will also include a small bar for customers to quickly grab mid-flight snacks and refreshments.

In total, 81 Boeing 777s will be refurbished as part of Emirates’ investment in its retrofit program. More destinations served with these latest products will be announced over the next few months. The airline has earmarked 191 aircraft for a full revamp as part of what is considered one of the largest known retrofit programs in the industry.

Emirates currently operates its refurbished A380 aircraft fitted with Premium Economy to multiple international destinations including New York JFK, Los Angeles, San Francisco among others. The airline aims to serve over 36 cities with Premium Economy by February 2025 with additional refurbished A380s and Boeing 777s rolling into service soon.
