Emirates is intensifying its aircraft fleet modernization program. Currently, 43 A380s and 28 Boeing 777s are being equipped with the latest cabin products. Originally, 120 aircraft were planned for the conversion. The expansion of the project to a total of 191 aircraft ensures that Emirates continues to offer its passengers a first-class travel experience.
Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline, emphasized the importance of this investment: “We are increasing our multi-billion dollar investment in the conversion program to equip even more of our A380s and Boeing 777s with state-of-the-art cabin products. This is an important step to ensure even more passengers can experience our premium products.”
The modernization work, which will be carried out internally at the airline's Engineering Centre, includes the renovation of the first class cabin, the introduction of new business class seats and the installation of premium economy seats. Converting a Boeing 777 takes about two weeks.
Emirates will serve a total of 2025 destinations with Premium Economy by February 42. The airline is also expanding its route network with newly renovated aircraft, including A380 flights to Osaka and the addition of Premium Economy Boeing 777s to additional routes.
