All interiors aesthetics are subjective, so these are only an observation based on my personal design taste. Having flown on Emirates many times before (though never these A380s), I must say that I liked the decor once onboard the aircraft itself.
But it has been around for a while and, in terms of design aesthetic, I believe it’s showing its age.
Perhaps focus groups have liked this design in the markets served, but comparing it to the design of Etihad’s new A380s in similar markets, I’d say there’s call to consider a light image refresh soon.

This came after a long process of reviewing whether to introduce a Premium Economy product and the design and development process of what is a very beautiful, and promises to be a very comfortable, flying experience. It seems that the wait will be a little longer yet for some, which is a disappointment, but SIA is doing the right thing by notifying customers and giving them a range of alternatives.
There was a bit of excitement this Sunday when a London Sunday Times article announced that Airbus had finally committed to an A380neo program, attributing the information to Fabrice Brégier, but Flight Chic has confirmed with Airbus representatives that this is not the case.
Etihad Airways, Abu Dhabi, has announced the last details of its long-awaited flight to London of its newly redesigned A380. Flight EY11 is one of …
Copenhagen Airport will widen a 3.3 kilometer (2 mile) long runway by summer 2015, as part of its bid to expand international service, to accommodate the A380. This project will be part of planned improvements to the airport’s runways and terminals.
