Emirates has announced that Colombo will be among the next eight destinations to be served by the airline’s B777s with upgraded cabins, as the airline’s retrofit programme continues to progress at an impressive pace, with an aircraft receiving a nose-to-tail facelift and rolling out into service every three weeks.

Colombo is set to receive the Boeing 777 with refreshed interiors from 10 August 2025 on its daily EK 650/651 flights. The operation will complement the airline’s newly introduced A350 operations to Sri Lanka’s commercial capital.
Emirates aims to serve 44 cities with its fleet of refurbished Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 aircraft by September 2025.
