Zurich and Riyadh to be served with Emirates' retrofitted Boeing 777s

Emirates has announced plans to introduce its newly retrofitted Boeing 777s with its Premium Economy product and newly configured Business Class cabin, to two more cities - Zurich and Riyadh from October 01, 2024, says the airline in a statement.

The refurbished four-class Boeing 777 is configured with six or eight First Class suites, 38 Business Class seats in a four-abreast arrangement, 24 seats in Premium Economy in a 2-4-2 layout, and 260 Economy Class seats. All class cabins have been thoroughly refurbished.

Earlier on August 7 Emirates deployed its first retrofitted Boeing 777 on the Dubai-Geneva route. From 22 September 2024, Geneva will become the first city in the Emirates network to be fully served with the newly retrofitted Boeing 777.

Customers flying in the new Emirates 777 Business Class can look forward to spacious seats, more privacy, with the luxury of uninterrupted sleep with a 180 degree fully reclined flat bed. The Emirates Boeing 777 Business Class cabin also includes a small bar for customers to quickly grab mid-flight snacks and refreshments

The Emirates Boeing 777 Premium Economy's 19.5-inch-wide cream leather seats complemented by a 6-way adjustable headrest offer more comfort with a 38-inch pitch that tilts back 8 inches for a relaxed recline. The seats feature accessible in-seat charging points and a wooden dining and side cocktail table. The Emirates Premium Economy experience is rounded off with an elevated in-flight dining experience that includes elements inspired by Business Class like a welcome drink, fine beverages and a selection of gourmet dishes served on fine tableware.
