Emirates to upgrade inflight experiences
Emirates is investing over US$2 billion (73 billion baht) to enhance its inflight customer experience, including a massive programme to retrofit over 120 aircraft with the latest interiors, plus an array of other service improvements across all cabins starting this year.
Apart from new menus, vegan choices, inflight entertainment system and hospitality training for cabin crew, the most significant investment is an extensive and record-breaking refurbishment of the aircraft interiors, where cabins will be retrofitted with new or reupholstered seats, new panelling, flooring and other cabin features. Benefitting all Emirates passengers, every cabin class will be refreshed and new Premium Economy cabins installed. After the retrofit, Emirates will have a total of 120 aircraft offering Premium Economy seats -- the only airline in the region to offer this cabin class, and enhanced interiors and features across all other cabins.
With its first aircraft scheduled to roll into the Emirates Engineering Centre for retrofitting in November, planning work and trials have begun in earnest.
