Airlines Emirates presents new Boeing 777 cabin concept

The new concept includes six new first class suites in a 1-1-1 configuration. The fully-enclosed private suites are “inspired by the Mercedes-Benz S-Class” and offer up to 40 square feet of personal space. All first class passengers shall have a window view as the middle suite will get virtual windows which project the view from outside the aircraft.

“The inflight experience is the heart of our brand and service proposition. The new 777 interiors that we are unveiling today is part of Emirates’ ongoing investment to continually raise the bar and exceed our customers’ expectations. Aside from our new fully enclosed private suites, Business Class features our latest fully-flat leather seats with personal minibars, Economy Class seats have adjustable full leather headrests, and the inflight entertainment system has been upgraded for all cabin classes.”

The design of the new Business Class seat onboard the new 777 was also inspired by the interior of a modern sports car. The seat has a pitch of 72 inches and moves into a fully-flat sleeping position. The Economy Class cabin will have a colour palette of soft greys and blues. All classes will have the new Emirates IFE system with full HD display.

Emirates has 165 Boeing 777s in its fleet, and a further 164 on firm order, including 150 of the next generation Boeing 777x aircraft. Today, Emirates operates the Boeing 777 to over 140 cities on six continents from its hub in Dubai. The latest Emirates 777 aircraft with these new features will enter commercial service on December 1, 2017, making its debut on flights to Geneva and Brussels.

Earlier this month, Singapore Airlines had announced a similar concept for a new first class in its A380 fleet. Several carriers are improving their first class product to compete with private jets and meet the demands of their customers.
