This announcement by Emirates is fantastic news for UK-based business travellers. With its enhanced four-class configuration, the retrofitted Boeing 777 offers an unparalleled travel experience, making journeys to Vienna more comfortable and productive than ever.

Vienna joins Geneva, Zurich and Brussels in receiving Emirates’ upgraded Boeing 777 as part of the airline’s largest fleet retrofit project, which has already introduced 10 enhanced aircraft to destinations worldwide. This milestone reflects Emirates’ commitment to continually improving its service offerings for both regional and long-haul routes.

Emirates has a strong relationship with Austria, celebrating 20 years of operations in the country and carrying more than 5 million passengers since launching its Vienna route in 2004. The airline also plays a crucial role in supporting Austrian exports and imports, transporting nearly 250,000 tonnes of freight over the past decade.
