IFEA6-EBB Refurbished and re-enters service

After just over 7 weeks in the hangar, A6-EBB a B777-300ER has been refurbished and re-entered service today, 20 December operating EK045/046 DXB-FRA-DXB.

The aircraft now sports Suites in F, lie-flat seats in J and new Weber seats in Y. Note, the IFE on this aircraft remains ICE not ICE digital widescreen.

This is the 1st of the 10 B77W sub-fleet that have SkyCruisers in F, deep reclining in J and old economy seats in Y. Although the configuration and layout is similar to the other Suites equipped 3-class B77Ws this sub-fleet of 10 aircraft were in the first wave of B77W deliveries hence do not have over-head crew rest areas installed. As a result these aircraft will not be dispatched alongside those aircraft. As a reminder this sub-fleet of aircraft are registered A6-EBB/EBC/EBE/EBG/EBI/EBJ/EBK/EBM/EBN/EBO. The refurbishment of this sub-fleet will continue during 2011 with at least 5 frames expected to completed by the end of 2011.

Although there is unlikely to be a dedicated route for this frame, it is expected to operate the EK380/381 DXB-HKG-DXB frequently.
