Emirates, the leading airline in the Middle East, has planned to launch its retrofitted Boeing 777s to two more cities, in Zurich and Riyadh.
The airline will also introduce the refurbished B777s to its operations in Geneva and Brussels, which will be the first two cities in the airline’s network to have refreshed B777 cabins on all flights. In the coming weeks and months, the airline seeks to provide its customers with highly acclaimed Premium Economy product and newly configured Business Class cabin.
From 1 October 2024, Emirates will begin its retrofitted Boeing 777 on EK 85 and EK 86 to Zurich. Emirates advanced Boeing 777 with its new cabins will also arrive in Riyadh for the first time on the same day, as EK 819 and EK 820. This will mark the first debut of Emirates’ Premium Economy in the Middle East/GCC.
With the introduction of the retrofitted B777 on EK 89 and 90, Geneva will emerge as the first city in the Emirates network to provide Premium Economy seats and newly refreshed Business Class cabins on all flights from 22 September 2024. The second retrofitted B777 from Emirates to Brussels on EK 181 and EK 182 will operate from October 9.
Passengers in the new Emirates 777 Business Class can enjoy spacious seats, more privacy and 180 degree fully reclined flat bed for uninterrupted sleep, personal mini bar, wooden table, multiple charging outlets and 20.7-inch-wide soft leather seats with aisle access in the middle replacing the middle seat.
In addition to these striking features, customers can also enjoy exceptional cuisines with full table service that includes Royal Doulton fine bone china and exclusive cutlery, as well as the industry’s best champagne and wine. There will also be in-flight entertainment and service.
The Emirates Premium Economy experience is complemented by the exceptional in-flight dining experience that includes Business Class-inspired facilities such as a welcome drink, fine beverages and a selection of gourmet dishes.
With the additional Boeing 777 and A380 aircraft, Emirates offers customers more choice, focusing on enhancing their experience in the skies across every cabin class. The goal of the airline is to serve 28 cities with Premium Economy by the end of this year. Currently, 25 aircrafts have been retrofitted and 17 more will undergo a facelift.
