Emirates unveiled completely refreshed interiors for its Boeing 777 aircraft, as the world's largest international airline takes the on-air luxury and privacy to the next level.

With floor to ceiling sliding doors and sleek design features inspired by the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Emirates' new suites offer up to 40 square feet of personal space each, with fully-enclosed private suites.

President Tim Clark showcased the new design on the opening day of the Dubai Air Show that includes newly-designed seats and upgraded inflight entertainment systems in all cabins.

The latest Emirates' private suite includes the soft leather seating, high-tech control panels, and mood lighting, the airliner said in a statement on Sunday.

Extending the trademark inflight experience to exclusive on-ground services, Emirates and Mercedes-Benz have extended their partnership to provide a fleet of the S-Class cars as part of its complimentary Chauffeur-drive service.

The latest Emirates 777 aircraft will enter commercial service on December 1, making its debut on flights to Geneva and Brussels, the company said.

The new Emirates 777 First Class cabin interior uses a new colour palette of soft greys, cream and champagne.

To ensure all First Class customers have a view, Emirates is introducing virtual windows for suites located in the middle aisle. These virtual windows project the view from outside the aircraft using real time camera technology.

In the other suites, binoculars are available for customers who want to explore the sky outside their windows.
