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
