Stansted passengers have the option of both daytime and evening flights.
The service is operated by three-class Boeing 777 aircraft.
UK divisional vice president Richard Jewsbury said: “Since the return of our operations to Stansted in August 2022, we have witnessed growing passenger appetite for international leisure tourism and corporate travel, and anticipate this will only increase throughout summer and beyond.
“Scaling up and offering an additional flight to our third London gateway will offer our southeast-based customers greater choice.”
Stansted managing director Gareth Powell added: “The return of Emirates’ second daily flight from London Stansted to Dubai is great news for passengers and a real boost for the airport, London and the east of England.
“This doubling of flights is a clear demonstration of the airline’s confidence in Stansted and reflects the significant demand for long-haul services that exits across the region.
“With 14 flights to Dubai a week now available, passengers from the region will have access to the airline’s global network, connecting them to popular long-haul destinations such as Singapore, Thailand, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Australia, and the Maldives through its Middle East hub.”
