Dubai-based Emirates is set to boost its London Heathrow operations this winter with six additional weekly flights starting 26 October 2025. The move comes after record growth in passenger demand, offering travellers more options and convenience during the busy year-end season.
Currently operating six daily flights to and from Heathrow with its Airbus A380, Emirates will deploy its Boeing 777-300ER for the new services. Each flight offers over 350 seats across First, Business, and Economy classes, ensuring ample capacity for travellers. The additional flights will operate daily except Fridays, providing flexible departure times for both leisure and business passengers.
Strategically timed overnight departures from London Heathrow to Dubai make onward connections to popular destinations such as Durban, Phuket, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Jakarta easier. Passengers flying into London Heathrow from Dubai can also conveniently connect to cities across West Asia, the Middle East, and mainland China.
The detailed flight schedule includes EK41 departing Dubai at 13:40hrs on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, arriving in London at 17:40hrs. Return flight EK42 leaves London at 22:35hrs on Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday, landing in Dubai at 09:35hrs the following day. Tuesday and Saturday departures from London are at 21:20hrs, arriving in Dubai at 08:20hrs. On Thursdays, EK41 leaves Dubai at 12:55hrs, reaching Heathrow at 16:55hrs, with the return EK42 departing at 21:20hrs.
By early next year, Emirates’ expanded London operations—including Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted—will total 146 weekly flights across the UK, including regional airports like Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. The airline also plans a fourth daily flight to London Gatwick from February 2026, operated by the Airbus A350.
Passengers flying with Emirates can enjoy award-winning inflight services, from regionally inspired multi-course meals and premium beverages to more than 6,500 entertainment channels on ice, the airline’s inflight entertainment system.
This expansion highlights Emirates’ ongoing commitment to improving connectivity, comfort, and convenience for travellers between Dubai and the UK.
