Emirates will introduce its Boeing 777s with upgraded cabins to Johannesburg and Cape Town in September.

Johannesburg will receive the Emirates Boeing 777 on its daily EK765/766 from September 1, followed by EK761/762 services from September 25.

Cape Town will be served with the airline’s latest interiors on its daily EK770/771 from September 20.

South Africa is the first African nation to receive the refreshed aircraft.

The refurbished four-class Emirates Boeing 777 features upgraded interiors with new design elements, including modern colour palettes, specially designed Ghaf Tree motifs and wood finishes across all cabins.  

The Business Class cabin has also been redesigned, with seats set up in a 1-2-1 arrangement to offer privacy, aisle access, and more space.

All refreshed Boeing 777s include 24 Premium Economy and 256 Economy Class seats.

By September, the airline aims to serve 44 cities with its fleet of refurbished Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 aircraft.
