Emirates continues its fleet upgrade programme by introducing its refurbished Boeing 777 aircraft to Seoul, South Korea, on April 14 and London Stansted, UK, on May 7.
These aircraft, featuring four-class configurations, will provide passengers with enhanced cabin experiences, including the award-winning Premium Economy and a newly configured Business Class.
Enhanced travel to Seoul and London Stansted
The upgraded Boeing 777 will operate three times a week between Dubai and Seoul on flights EK324/325, scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
This move makes Seoul the second East Asian destination—after Tokyo—to feature Emirates’ newly retrofitted aircraft, giving travellers more choices and elevated comfort.
By July 2025, Emirates will offer more than 3,150 weekly Premium Economy seats across six major destinations in Southeast and East Asia, including Tokyo-Narita, Tokyo-Haneda, Osaka, Singapore, Seoul, and Shenzhen, on both the Boeing 777 and A380 aircraft.
Meanwhile, London Stansted becomes the third UK gateway to welcome Emirates’ refurbished aircraft, joining London Heathrow and Edinburgh.
This rollout further expands Emirates’ four-class Boeing 777 service across Europe, including Brussels, Geneva, Zurich, Vienna, and Athens.
A premium experience onboard
The retrofitted Boeing 777s feature Emirates’ acclaimed Premium Economy cabins, which blend elevated comfort with accessible luxury.
Passengers can expect wider seats, increased recline, and premium dining options, offering an experience closer to Business Class.
The Business Class cabin now boasts a 1-2-1 seat layout, ensuring aisle access for every passenger, fully flat beds, and personal mini-bars.
First-class travellers will enjoy the Gamechanger suites on select aircraft, providing unparalleled privacy and personalized luxury.
Beyond seating enhancements, the cabin interiors have been redesigned, incorporating modern colour palettes, Ghaf tree motifs, and refined wood finishes, creating an aesthetically pleasing and serene environment across all travel classes.
