Emirates' first retrofitted Boeing 777 will be enters service on August 7

Four days ahead of schedule, Emirates' first Boeing 777 with retrofits went into service on August 7. The flight EK83 to Geneva will introduce passengers to the aircraft's brand-new business class seats and premium economy cabins. The renovation required 37 days for the Emirates workers to finish, from disassembling the cabins to reassembling them with a fresh appearance.

Early in July, Emirates began refurbishing their Boeing 777, with the goal of rearranging the aircraft to accommodate a new, 24-seat premium economy cabin. The cream leather seats, which are accented by the wood panel finishes throughout the interior, have six-way adjustable headrests and a 38-inch pitch and 19.5-inch width. They also recline eight inches, giving you additional room to stretch out and unwind.

With supple leather seats that are cream in colour and accentuated with champagne trim, lighter wood panelling, and contemporary technological details that combine function and elegance, the cabin's colour scheme and upholstery have been improved to reflect the bright and airy design features of Emirates' famous A380 experience. 

Each ergonomic 20.7-inch-wide seat, arranged in a 1-2-1 arrangement, can be converted into a roomy flat bed with a maximum recline of 78.6 inches. For extra comfort, the seat also has a cushioned headrest. With the cabin's four-abreast seating arrangement, every passenger has easy access to the aisle.

Every seat has an own minibar, a table for working or eating, many USB ports for charging gadgets, and other amenities. Every passenger may fully experience the airline's award-winning ice entertainment system with to the touch screen seat controller for in-flight entertainment and seat management and a personal 23-inch HD screen, one of the biggest in the sky. 

Additionally, there will be a tiny bar in the Emirates Boeing 777 business class cabin where passengers can easily get snacks and beverages for mid-flight. The 256 seats in the new economy class cabin have a colour scheme of muted blues and greys. The flexible side panels of the ergonomically designed chairs may be adjusted vertically for optimal support, and the headrests are fully covered in leather. The interiors also prominently showcase Emirates' iconic ghaf tree theme. 

As part of its over $3 billion investment, Emirates plans to repair an additional 80 Boeing 777 aircraft to provide best-in-class goods that enhance the flying experience for customers.
