Emirates is set to enhance its service offerings in Kuwait and Dammam with the introduction of refurbished Boeing 777 aircraft. The airline aims to provide passengers on short flights the opportunity to experience its latest-generation products, elevating the standard for premium travel. These cities are now among the first in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region to be served by these upgraded planes.
The retrofitted Emirates Boeing 777 will begin operations on routes EK855 and EK856 to Kuwait starting October 27. For Dammam, services will commence on November 22 with daily flights EK823 and EK824, as well as EK821 and EK822. This makes Dammam the second destination in Saudi Arabia to receive this service.
Since refurbishment began in July, six Emirates Boeing 777 aircraft have been fully upgraded and are currently serving destinations including Geneva, Zurich, Brussels, Haneda, and Riyadh. The four-class configuration includes a Premium Economy section with seats arranged in a 2-4-2 layout. These seats feature cream leather upholstery with a pitch of 38 inches and an eight-inch recline.
