Emirates raises Heathrow-Dubai capacity this winter

Emirates is adding six flights a week between Heathrow and Dubai this winter to give a total of 48 a week.

The airline already flies six times a day to and from the London hub using Airbus A380 superjumbos. 

The additional flights will operate on all days except for Fridays during the winter schedule from October 26 using Boeing 777-300ERs with more than 350 seats in a three-class configuration.

Enhanced frequencies at Emirates’ London hubs, including Heathrow and Gatwick, will take the airline’s total weekly services to 90 flights by early next year. 

Emirates last month confirmed a fourth daily flight from Gatwick starting on February 8, 2026, operated by new Airbus A350 aircraft.

The carrier will serve the UK with a record 146 weekly flights by then across Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted, in addition to Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
