Emirates has shared details about the first destinations on its network to be served with the airline’s refurbished Boeing 777 aircraft, with Geneva, Tokyo Haneda and Brussels on the list.
The aircraft will feature the airline’s signature Premium Economy as well as the next-generation Business Class seats, set in a new 1-2-1 configuration. The seats focus on personalised privacy and elevated comfort and convert to a comfortable flat bed, with 20.7 inch wide seats, pitched up to 44 inches apart.
They will also have touch screen seat controllers for in-flight entertainment and seat operation, a personal 23-inch HD screen, a personal mini-bar, a large table, and ample stowage for personal devices, charging outlets and more.
The Business Class cabin will also offer a small bar to quickly grab mid-flight snacks and refreshments.
Adnan Kazim, Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, 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.
“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 EK 83/84 to and from Geneva from 11 August, EK 312/313 to and from Tokyo Haneda from 1 September and EK 183/184 to and from Brussels from 11 September.
