Emirates announced on Friday that it will increase its daily flights between Dubai and Dublin to three, starting October 26, 2025. This move aims to enhance air connectivity for Irish passengers and expand cargo capacity to and from the Irish capital.
Early Morning Schedule for Early Risers
The new service, operating as flight EK165, will depart Dubai at 02:10 and arrive in Dublin at 06:25 local time. On the return leg, flight EK166 will leave Dublin at 08:25 and land in Dubai at 20:00. This new morning schedule complements the existing afternoon and evening departures, offering travelers greater flexibility for connections to destinations in Asia and Oceania.
The additional flight will be operated with a Boeing 777-300ER configured in three classes. This aircraft features:
- 8 private suites in First Class
- 42 lie-flat seats in Business Class
- 304 spacious seats in Economy

Enhanced Global Connections
With this third daily frequency, passengers flying from Dublin will have more and better options to connect to popular destinations within Emirates’ global network, such as Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok.
These routes are key for traffic between Europe and Asia-Pacific, further solidifying Dubai’s position as an efficient hub for Irish travelers.
Cabin Innovation: Refurbished Boeing 777 Already in Service
Last month, Emirates deployed its newly refurbished Boeing 777 on the Dubai-Dublin route. This aircraft features a four-class configuration, including the award-winning Premium Economy and the latest Business Class offering.
Additionally, starting October 16, a second refurbished Boeing 777 will join the route, reinforcing the airline’s commitment to delivering a premium travel experience.
