Ek To Roll Out Upgraded B777s On Sa Routes

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

Johannesburg flights with the upgraded aircraft will be the daily EK765/766 from September 1, followed by EK761/762 services from September 25. The Cape Town daily EK770/771 flight will be served by the refurbished aircraft from September 20.

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

The four-class Emirates Boeing 777 will now feature 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 in a 1-2-1 arrangement to offer privacy, aisle access, and more space.
