The 2020 World's Fair was finally held between October 2021 and March 2022. The Burj Khalifa stuntwoman who appeared in a recent Emirates ad carries an invitation to visit the event on both sides of the aircraft, holding a message board that says: "See you there" and "Dubai Expo Oct-Mar 2022".

In late 2022 all four aircraft had their titles modified as the Expo was over and the scheme was kept to promote tourism to Dubai. The Expo dates were replaced by "See you there" titles and the Emirates motto "Fly Better" while the billboard on the starboard side was changed to "Destination Dubai" (no change on the port side billboard).

In August 2021 Emirates unveiled the first of a series of aircraft sporting a special scheme to celebrate the UAE's 50th anniversary (Golden Jubilee). Indeed, on 2 December 1971, six of the emirates (Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain) agreed to enter into a union called the United Arab Emirates. The golden livery shows Arabic titles on the port side and English titles on the starboard side, in a similar fashion to Singapore Airline's 1997 Golden Jubilee livery.
