I believe the newest 77W in the current fleet was delivered in 2018. Presumably the plan was to start accepting 77Xs thereafter, but that has been delayed. EK hasn’t been big on retro-fitting (although I see they are doing so for PE on 100-odd aircraft), and I suppose that since the old F is a pretty decent, there’s no pressing need to do so.
