Emirates Increases Weekly Flights to London Heathrow

Starting 26 October 2025, Emirates, the largest international airline in the world, will be adding 6 weekly flights to its London Heathrow schedule, unlocking more opportunities for travel for its passengers.

Emirates is enhancing its winter schedule in response to record travel demand, offering more convenience and flexible departure options for passengers flying to and from London Heathrow during the peak year-end travel season.

The airline currently operates six daily flights between Dubai and London Heathrow, all served by the flagship Airbus A380. An additional daily service will be introduced during winter, operating on all days except Fridays, using the Boeing 777-300ER, which offers over 350 seats across First, Business, and Economy Class.

The new flight times are strategically designed to provide seamless onward connections from Dubai to popular destinations including Durban, Phuket, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Jakarta. Travellers flying to London will also enjoy convenient connections from Ahmedabad, Lahore, Maldives, Hyderabad, Chennai, Beijing, Shanghai, and major Middle Eastern cities such as Bahrain, Dammam, and Riyadh.

EK41 departs Dubai at 13:40 on Mon, Tue, Wed, Sat & Sun; arrives London Heathrow at 17:40.
EK42 returns from London Heathrow at 22:35 on Mon, Wed & Sun, arriving Dubai at 09:35 next day.
