- Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) from October 2025
- Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE) from October 2025

Meanwhile, its upgraded Boeing 777s will fly to:
- Madrid Airport (MAD) from October 2025
- Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) from mid-October 2025
- Phuket International Airport (HKT) from December 2025
- Frankfurt Airport (FRA) from mid-December 2025
- Dublin Airport (DUB) from December 2025.
Emirates said it will also receive its first long-range A350 in late 2025, which is set to make its debut in Australia with the introduction of flights to Adelaide Airport (ADL) from December 1, 2025.
We'll be bringing our Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 with upgraded cabins to eight more cities in the coming months, and debut our first long-range A350 on Adelaide flights later this year. https://t.co/ufu0qEI84k pic.twitter.com/iYzijo1Fib

“The latest rollout of refurbished Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s and new A350s offer more opportunities for customers in over 70 dynamic cities and growing economies to enjoy our latest generation premium onboard experience combined with our award-winning service,” Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer said in a statement.
Kazim continued: “The redoubling of our refurbishment programme efforts means that by the end of this year, Emirates will have established itself as one of the preeminent industry leaders offering Premium Economy seats. In the next two years, we will definitely cement our position as the industry leader in Premium Economy deployment.”
On average, it takes 22 days to retrofit an A380, and 18 days for a Boeing 777. Every month, two aircraft roll out of the program, ready for deployment to a new city, or to be layered on an existing operation sporting refurbished aircraft.
Emirates said that by the end of 2025, close to 40% of the airline’s fleet will offer its latest interiors, including Premium Economy and a refreshed Business Class cabin.
