Emirates is strengthening its offering to the Indian Ocean with the introduction of the modernised Boeing 777 on routes from Dubai to the Maldives and Sri Lanka departing from Dubai International Airport (DXB).

The affected flights are EK656/657 and EK660/661 to Malé, already operating with the new configuration, and, starting from 18 July, flight EK650/651 to Colombo will also be operated with the new four-class aircraft, including the acclaimed Premium Economy.

With more than 40 destinations in the network already served by Premium Economy, Emirates now allows travellers to the Maldives and Sri Lanka to book their entire itinerary in comfort on board.

The revamped Boeing 777 features a completely updated interior: 8 suites in First Class, 40 seats in Business Class in a 1-2-1 configuration, 24 Premium Economy seats arranged in 2-4-2 with six-way adjustable backrests, and 256 ergonomically designed Economy seats. In Business, the seats transform into 78.6-inch fully flat beds, equipped with 23-inch HD screens.

Premium Economy also includes 35 kg of checked baggage and 10 kg of carry-on baggage, offering an ideal solution for both business and leisure travellers.

Emirates currently operates four daily flights to Malé, three of which are operated with retrofitted Boeing 777s. Also for Colombo , flights with Premium Economy will rise to two per day, including those operated with the new A350s.
