Emirates recently phased out A6-EMF, the last remaining Boeing 777-200 from its fleet.
Emirates is taking delivery of 24 new aircraft and is retiring its older aircraft. Seven aircraft were phased out in 2014 and another 10 are planned for retirement this year.
The aircraft departed from Dubai International to Arizona via Boston for de-registration. Depending on the aircraft agreement, Emirates either returns the aircraft to the lessor at the end of the lease term, or presents the aircraft to the market for sale.
The aircraft goes through a number of processes, including a ‘de-branding’ exercise, which includes removing Emirates livery and branding from the aircraft.
