Emirates has unveiled completely refreshed interiors for its
Boeing 777 aircraft, including highly anticipated and game-changing, fully
enclosed private suites in First Class inspired by Mercedes-Benz.
The collaboration between two global brands renowned for
innovation, luxury and comfort inspired several designed details including the
soft leather seating, high-tech control panels, and mood lighting.
Extending that trademark inflight experience to exclusive
on-ground services, Emirates and Mercedes-Benz have extended their partnership
to provide a fleet of S-Class cars as part of its complimentary chauffeur-drive
service. Emirates First Class passengers arriving or departing in the UAE will
enjoy a seamless journey from aircraft to home, and vice versa, in the comfort
of these beautiful cars.
The latest Emirates 777 aircraft with these new features
will enter commercial service on 1 December, 2017, making its debut on flights to Geneva and
Brussels.
With floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and sleek design
features, Emirates’ new fully-enclosed private suites take luxury and privacy
to the next level offering up to 40 square feet of personal space.
Created in collaboration with Boeing, Rockwell Collins interior
systems, Panasonic, Jacques Pierre Jean Design studio and Seattle-based design
firm Teague, each suite combines smart technologies and intelligent design to
deliver function and comfort while a whole new colour palette of soft greys,
cream and champagne, conveys a contemporary, open and airy feel, with quiet and
timeless luxury.
The soft leather seat reclines into a fully flat bed and can
be placed in a “zero-gravity” position inspired by NASA technology, giving a
feeling of relaxation and weightlessness.
To ensure all First Class customers have a view, Emirates is
introducing the industry’s first virtual windows for suites located in the
middle aisle. These virtual windows project the view from outside the aircraft
using real-time camera technology. In the other suites, binoculars are
available for customers who want to explore the sky outside their windows.
The flyers are also offered an inspiration kit in each of
the suites which features a luxury Byredo skincare collection, Hydra Active
moisturizing pajamas, and Bulgari amenity kits.

Passengers can easily communicate with the cabin crew, or
request room service using the video call function. The suites also come with a
service window where customers can be served drinks and canapes undisturbed.
Emirates has retained and updated the most popular features
of its private suites such as: the personal mini bar for drinks and snacks and
wireless controls to adjust seating positions, as well as to navigate Emirates’
award-winning inflight entertainment system, ice.
Customers can view over 2,500 channels of on-demand
entertainment on a 32-inch Full HD LCD TV screen, or project content from their
own devices. The viewing experience is now enhanced with brand new Noise
Cancelling E1 headphones created exclusively for Emirates. These headphones
were designed by award-winning audio brand Bowers & Wilkins to ensure the
sound was optimised for the First Class cabin environment.
Each suite is fitted with an inspiration kit which features
a luxury Byredo skincare collection found only on Emirates, Hydra Active
moisturising pyjamas, and Bulgari amenity kits.
As with any Emirates flight today, First Class customers can
enjoy dining on demand service, with a selection of the finest cuisine prepared
by gourmet chefs, accompanied by some of the most exclusive wines, champagnes
and spirits in the world. They will be well looked after by Emirates’
international cabin crew representing over 135 nationalities.
Business Class Cabin Upgrades
The design and shape of Emirates’ Business Class seat
onboard the new 777 was also inspired by the interior of a modern sports car
with a seat that has a pitch of 72 inches and moves into a fully-flat sleeping
position.
It also has touchscreen controls for the seat and inflight
entertainment system, several personal lighting options, privacy panels between
seats, a shoe stowage area, footrest, and a personal mini-bar.
