Emirates Engineering reconfigures a Boeing 777-200LR

By Adam GavineJuly 11, 20181 Min Read

The reconfigured aircraft features new, wider Business class seats in a 2-2-2 format

The original interiors of the aircraft cabin were completely stripped and rebuilt. The reconfiguration not only involved the installation of new seats but also a number of other changes including new wiring for the lighting systems, raising the ceiling height in the business class cabin, and modifying the aircraft galleys to incorporate the new social space in business class

The conversion of the Boeing 777-200LR aircraft from three to two cabin classes was executed fully in-house at the Emirates Engineering hangars in Dubai.

The economy class cabins have been fully refreshed during the program

Following installation, safety tests conducted included: prototype testing where the design was validated for regulatory compliance; functional testing of cabin components; EMI Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and air-flow testing inside the cabin, and a five-hour test flight with the simulation of various flight scenarios and in-flight fire and smoke testing

Overall, the Emirates Engineering team invested the equivalent of over 16,000 collective man hours in the design and implementation of this aircraft reconfiguration project
