Emirates’ latest products

With the introduction of the retrofitted Boeing 777 on flights to Vienna, Emirates will further serve the city with its best-in-class products including its award-winning Premium Economy, as well as refreshed interiors and enhanced cabins across other classes. The four-class Boeing 777 features 8 First Class suites, 40 Business Class seats in 1-2-1 configuration, 24 spacious Premium Economy seats and 256 ergonomically designed Economy seats.

On a four-class Boeing 777 aircraft, the 24 Premium Economy seats are arranged in a 2-4-2 layout with 6-way adjustable headrests for added comfort and space – making it an ideal choice for both business and leisure travellers.

The new Emirates Boeing 777 Business Class is inspired by the fresh, open and contemporary design elements of Emirates' iconic A380 experience, featuring soft leather cream seats accented with champagne trim, lighter wood panelling, a mini-bar, and other technology touches that deliver an elegant and engaging experience. The 40 seats in a 1-2-1 configuration ensures every customer has direct access to the aisle. Seats convert to a spacious flatbed which reclines up to 78.6 inches. The Business Class seat’s 23-inch HD screen, one of the biggest in the skies, helps deliver the ultimate in-flight entertainment experience. 

As part of Emirates’ largest known fleet retrofit project, the airline has so far rolled out 10 upgraded Boeing 777 aircraft into service, currently flying to Geneva, Zurich, Brussels, Haneda, Riyadh, Kuwait, Dammam and Chicago.
