Emirates has exciting news for travelers between Dubai and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia! The airline has unveiled plans to introduce newly revamped Boeing 777s on its second and third daily flights to Riyadh. This upgrade marks Riyadh as the first city in the Middle East and one of the select destinations in Emirates' network to be served exclusively by their latest retrofitted aircraft.

With the maiden flights of the refurbished Emirates Boeing 777 set to take off on March 30, 2025, passengers can look forward to a new level of comfort and luxury. The enhanced Boeing 777 will initially operate six flights per week from May 7, 2025, and will ramp up to daily flights starting on August 11, 2025.

Following a successful introduction of the refurbished Boeing 777 in Riyadh back in October 2024, Emirates has been met with positive feedback and increased demand for the superior flying experience provided by these premium aircraft. The airline is committed to expanding its offering of the Boeing 777 fleet to more cities in the upcoming weeks and months.

Passengers flying on the latest retrofitted Emirates Boeing 777s can expect a range of enhancements, including Premium Economy seats in a 2-4-2 configuration. The upgraded Business Class features a 1-2-1 layout for direct aisle access, complemented by luxurious First Class suites and an updated Economy Class cabin.

Moreover, Emirates has introduced Chauffeur-Drive Services (CDS) for First and Business Class passengers in Riyadh, offering a seamless door-to-door premium transport experience. Riyadh stands out as the exclusive regional destination where premium customers can enjoy this bespoke service, further solidifying Emirates as the leading airline in providing top-notch services.

Currently, Emirates operates 72 weekly flights to four key Saudi Arabian gateways, utilizing a mix of Boeing 777s and A380s to cater to passengers traveling to and from the kingdom. Stay tuned for more updates as Emirates continues to elevate the flying experience for travelers across its network!
