Emirates is expanding its London Heathrow schedule with six additional weekly flights starting 26 October 2025, responding to record growth and rising passenger demand.
The move aims to offer travellers more convenience and flexible departure options during the year-end travel peak.
The airline already operates six daily flights to Heathrow, all on its flagship Airbus A380. The new winter services, excluding Fridays, will use the Boeing 777-300ER, featuring over 350 seats across First, Business, and Economy classes.
Strategically timed overnight departures from London to Dubai will provide seamless connections to key destinations including Durban, Phuket, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Jakarta. Similarly, flights from Dubai to London will connect passengers from cities across West Asia, China, and the Middle East.
Flight EK41 will depart Dubai Monday through Sunday at various times, with return flight EK42 from London scheduled to optimise connections for onward travel. All timings are local, providing flexibility for business and leisure travellers alike.
Enhanced frequencies at Emirates’ London hubs, including Heathrow and Gatwick, will increase the airline’s total weekly UK services to 90 by early 2026. Starting 8 February 2026, a fourth daily flight to London Gatwick will be added using the Airbus A350. By February next year, Emirates will operate 146 weekly flights across its three London airports and regional UK gateways including Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, and Edinburgh.
Passengers on Emirates can expect a premium onboard experience, featuring regionally inspired multi-course menus, an extensive selection of beverages, and over 6,500 entertainment options via the award-winning ice inflight system.
