Emirates widens fleet refurbish plan amid delays to new deliveries | Reuters
Emirates (EMIRA.UL) will refurbish more of its existing fleet than previously planned, its chief commercial officer said on Tuesday, as the airline faces delays to deliveries of new Boeing (BA.N) jets and seeks assurances over concerns with the Airbus A350s it ordered.
The Gulf carrier is spending over a $1 billion to refurbish the fleet which includes installing a new premium economy cabin.
Adnan Kazim told reporters in Dubai that Emirates would now refurbish 120 aircraft from its existing fleet of A380 and 777s, up from the 105 that the airline had previously announced.
Of those, 67 A380s would be retrofitted, up from 52 initially announced, while the 53 refurbished 777s is unchanged.
