Emirates is refurbishing an additional 43 A380s and 28 777 aircraft, expanding its retrofit programme to 191 aircraft. Originally, Emirates had planned the nose-to-tail cabin refreshes for 67 A380s and 53 777s, totalling 120 aircraft.
""The addition of more aircraft fitted with our newest generation seats, updated cabin finishings and a contemporary colour palette also marks a significant step in ensuring more customers can consistently experience our premium products across both aircraft types,"" said Emirates Airline president Tim Clark.
Emirates has retrofitted 22 A380 aircraft so far, and in July of this year, the first Boeing 777 will undergo an interior refresh. Each Boeing 777 aircraft will take approximately two weeks to refurbish before entering service. The retrofit programme is executed in-house at its engineering centre.
