Emirates is set to expand its services with retrofitted Boeing 777 aircraft to eight additional cities, as part of its ongoing retrofit program. The airline plans to introduce these upgraded cabins in Lisbon, Dublin, Hong Kong, Male, Kolkata, Colombo, Johannesburg, and Cape Town by September 2025. By then, Emirates aims to serve a total of 44 cities with the refurbished Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 aircraft on over 379 weekly departures.

Starting June 1, 2025, all flights to and from Lisbon will feature the upgraded Boeing 777 cabins on routes EK 191/192 and EK 193/194. On June 25, Dublin will see the debut of Emirates' latest Business and Premium Economy cabins on EK 161/162. Hong Kong will become the second Chinese destination served by the retrofitted Boeing 777 starting July 15 on EK 382/383.

Travelers to the Maldives can expect enhanced onboard experiences with refreshed interiors on multiple flights beginning June and July. Kolkata will receive four weekly flights with upgraded interiors starting August 10 on EK 572/573. Colombo's daily flights will feature the updated Boeing 777 from August 10 as well.
