I came across this interview with Emirates' Head of Engineering, discussing the refurbishment project:
https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/e...shment-project
Some of the interesting points that were made:
- A380 retrofits will speed up come November/December when more capacity to retrofit aircraft is available
- As many as 10 A380s are out of service at a given time due to wing checks
- Expecting 'phase one' of the refurbishment project will be completed by the end of 2026
- 'Phase two' will include installing a new first class product, upgrading IFE and modernized connectivity options
- Program could include as many as six 'phases' of refurbishment
