Emirates has unveiled a brand new Business Class cabin and configuration on its Boeing 777-200LR aircraft, with new wider seats laid out in a 2-2-2 configuration for the first time.
According to a statement issued by the airline on Monday, Emirates has invested over $150 million to refurbish the 10 existing 777-200LR aircraft in its fleet.
The newly refurbished Emirates 777-200LR aircraft is set in a two-class configuration which offers 38 Business Class seats and 264 seats in Economy Class - while the Business Class seats are in the same design and shape of Emirates' latest lie-flat seats, they are now two inches wider for a more comfortable journey.
The seats retain the champagne coloured finish and diamond stitch pattern on the full leather cover, and the ergonomically designed headrest revealed on Emirates' newest Boeing 777 in November.

Business class

The Business Class seat 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 among other features.
Overhead bins in centre of the cabin have been removed for an airier and more spacious feel on board. The cabin boasts electronic windows and the largest personal in-flight entertainment (IFE) screens in Business Class at 23 inches wide.
The cabin also features the Ghaf tree - considered the national tree of the United Arab Emirates, and now a signature design on the latest Emirates aircraft.
In addition, the new Business Class cabin features a social area - unique to the Boeing 777-200LR fleet - with a mini lounge area offering various snacks and beverages.
The aircraft is also equipped with Wi-Fi and Live TV across all classes.
Emirates' newly refurbished 777-200LR aircraft will go into service on March 6 to Fort Lauderdale.
This is the first of 10 aircraft which will be retrofitted with the new configuration over the course of the year.
