Emirates has announced the launch of a third daily flight to Dublin, beginning 26 October 2025, significantly enhancing connectivity between Ireland and Dubai. This move will offer more flexible travel options for passengers and increase cargo capacity on the route.
The new flight, EK165, will depart Dubai at 02:10hrs, arriving in Dublin at 06:25hrs local time. The return flight, EK166, will depart Dublin at 08:25hrs, reaching Dubai at 20:00hrs. The early morning schedule complements Emirates’ current afternoon and evening flights, providing greater flexibility for both business and leisure travellers.
The third service will be operated using a Boeing 777-300ER in a three-class configuration, featuring:
- 8 First Class private suites
- 42 lie-flat Business Class seats
- 304 spacious Economy seats
The expansion enhances connectivity from Dublin to major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok, further strengthening Emirates’ position as a leading global carrier.
Emirates has also recently introduced its retrofitted Boeing 777 on the Dublin route, offering a four-class configuration that includes the popular Premium Economy cabin. A second refurbished aircraft is expected to join the Dublin route from 16 October, offering passengers a consistently upgraded experience.
Travellers can enjoy Emirates’ renowned hospitality, regionally inspired meals, and the award-winning inflight entertainment system, ice, offering over 6,500 channels of movies, TV shows, music, and podcasts. Premium passengers will also experience Irish touches onboard with VOYA bathroom amenities, Keogh’s Crisps, and Killowen yogurt.
Bookings are available through emirates.com, the Emirates App, retail stores, contact centres, or travel agents.
