Emirates rolls out retrofitted Boeing...

Upgraded aircraft will serve destinations from Autumn 2024

Emirates is set to debut its retrofitted Boeing 777s on routes to Kuwait City in Kuwait and Dammam in Saudi Arabia, as the upgraded aircraft roll-out continues.

Emirates’ enhanced Boeing 777s featuring the carrier’s new Premium Economy cabins and next-generation Business Class seats will operate on EK855 and EK856 to Kuwait from 27 October 2024.

From 22 November 2024, the upgraded aircraft will also operate on EK823, EK824, EK821 and EK822 flights to Dammam.

Following the earlier launch of upgraded aircraft serving Riyadh, Kuwait and Dammam will become the second and third cities respectively in the Gulf to be served by the upgraded Boeing 777s.

The Emirates Boeing 777 entered refurbishment in early July, and so far, six aircraft have fully rolled out into service, flying to Geneva, Zurich, Brussels, Haneda (Tokyo) and Riyadh.

The four-class configuration features 24 Premium Economy seats set in a 2-4-2 layout. The 19.5-inch-wide cream leather seats recline 8 inches and feature six-way adjustable headrests.

Emirates' upgraded Business Class cabins offer 38 seats in a 1-2-1 configuration, ensuring every customer has direct access to the aisle. Seats convert to flatbeds.

The new Economy Class cabin features 256 ergonomically designed seats in a colour palette of soft greys and blues.

Emirates will also be growing its network of cities featuring latest generation products in Business Class and Premium Economy, with the introduction of refurbished Boeing 777s on six routes in the US, including Chicago, Boston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Seattle, Athens/Newark and Miami/Bogota.
