Emirates is set to enhance its service offerings by deploying more retrofitted Boeing 777s and Airbus A380s across existing routes to Shanghai and Zurich. The airline will also expand schedules to Milan, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires while upgrading services to Shanghai and Singapore with A380 aircraft.
These changes come in response to rising demand across Emirates' network, allowing more passengers to experience the airline's onboard services, including the popular Premium Economy cabin. Since November 2022, Emirates has been retrofitting its aircraft at a steady pace of one plane every three weeks, completing upgrades on 60 planes so far.
Effective from October 26, Emirates will increase operations to Milan by adding a third daily flight using a Boeing 777-300ER. Additionally, flights between Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires will become daily. From July 20, services to Shanghai will be upgraded with an Airbus A380 for one of the daily flights, while the other will continue with a retrofitted Boeing 777.
