Emirates Adds Six Weekly Flights to London Heathrow

Boosting Connectivity Between Dubai and London

Emirates will launch six additional weekly flights to London Heathrow starting 26 October 2025, expanding travel options for passengers. This winter schedule increase follows record travel demand, offering customers more departure choices and flexibility during the busy year-end travel season.

The new flights will operate every day except Friday, using the Boeing 777-300ER with over 350 seats in three classes. Emirates currently operates six daily flights to London Heathrow, all served by its flagship Airbus A380 aircraft.

Strategic Scheduling and Wider Reach

The added flights offer convenient overnight departures from London Heathrow, connecting seamlessly to destinations like Phuket, Hong Kong, and Kuala Lumpur. Travellers flying from India, the Middle East, and China will also benefit from improved timings and smoother connections through Dubai.

Flight EK41 will depart Dubai on most days at 13:40, arriving in London at 17:40, while return timings vary. The enhanced service supports increasing travel demand between Dubai and London and improves access to Emirates’ global network of over 140 destinations.

Expanding UK Operations

By February 2026, Emirates will operate 146 weekly flights across London Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted, plus major UK regional airports. A fourth daily flight will launch at London Gatwick on 8 February 2026, operated by Emirates’ newest Airbus A350 aircraft.

Emirates aims to provide the best-in-class onboard experience with award-winning cuisine, premium beverages, and over 6,500 entertainment channels on its “ice” system. These expanded frequencies reinforce Emirates’ position as the largest international airline, connecting travellers to London with exceptional service and comfort.
