Emirates Deploys Retrofitted A380 and B777 to 8 More Destinations

Emirates will introduce a slew of Boeing 777 and Airbus A380s with upgraded cabins to 8 more cities on its network in the coming months.

The airline will roll out its refreshed A380s to Bangkok, Hong Kong, Nice and Perth and its upgraded Boeing 777s to Madrid, Kuala Lumpur, Phuket and Frankfurt, as well as another refitted Boeing 777 service to Dublin.

These latest planned deployments will offer customers more opportunities to enjoy a seamless, consistent and industry-leading Emirates experience whether they are travelling to or through Dubai, as the total number of cities served by refurbished Boeing 777s and Airbus A380s and newly delivered A350s reaches over 70 cities.

The airline's retrofit programme continues to advance at a remarkable pace with Emirates Engineering Centre teams working round the clock to complete full nose-to-tail makeovers at an average rate of one wide-body aircraft every three weeks.

The airline will also receive its first long-range A350 later this year, which is set to make its debut in Australia with the introduction of flights to Adelaide from 1 December.

Additionally, Dublin will receive its second refitted Boeing 777 on 1 December.

Adelaide will be the first city in the airline’s network to receive the long-range Airbus A350 with the introduction of flights on EK440/441 beginning 1 December. The Emirates Airbus A350-900ULR can stay in the air for over 15 hours non-stop, with a range exceeding 14,000 km.

By the end of 2025, Emirates expects to receive 5 A350 aircraft earmarked to serve long-haul missions, featuring 32 lie-flat Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 configuration, 28 seats in Premium Economy, and 238 generously pitched Economy Class seats.
