Emirates is continuing to update its operations as further refitted Boeing 777-300ER aircraft are completed, with two more destinations getting upgrades.
The destinations in question are London Stansted and Seoul Incheon.
The service to Seoul Incheon will get the updated aircraft from Boeing 777-300ER from 14th April, with the four-class aircraft operating on flights EK324/325 between Dubai and Seoul, operating three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The upcoming deployment makes Seoul the second East Asian destination to receive Emirates’ upgraded Boeing 777 retrofitted aircraft, which features updated Business Class seating and the Premium Economy Cabin.
By July 2025, travellers flying eastbound with Emirates will have access to more than 3,150 weekly seats in Premium Economy on a mix of Boeing 777s and A380s across six key destinations in Southeast and East Asia, including Tokyo-Narita, Tokyo-Haneda, Osaka, Singapore, Seoul, and Shenzhen.
Meanwhile, the London Stansted service will have the new aircraft available from 7th May. It will join London Heathrow and Edinburgh as the third UK destination to showcase the airline’s latest generation products and refreshed cabin interiors.
In addition to London Stansted, Emirates’ network of European destinations served by the four-class Boeing 777 includes Brussels, Geneva, Zurich, Vienna, and Athens.
Improved Passenger Experience
The retrofitted Emirates Boeing 777 aircraft features a four-class configuration with a First Class Cabin, the refitted Business Class Cabin (featuring 1-2-1 seating), the “new” Premium Economy Class seating and normal economy cabin.

For passengers on these routes (especially those in Business Class), there are welcome improvements, as well as the cabin choices.
With further aircraft being reffitted, there could be a chance that the reffitted aircraft could be out sooner, rather than on the dates given.
If you are booked on these routes, keep an eye on the seat map. If the middle seat in business class disappears, or you see Premium Economy pop up, a refitted aircraft should be due on that route.
