Emirates Adds Fourth Daily Flight Between Dubai and London Gatwick
Emirates has announced that starting February 8, 2026, it will introduce a fourth daily flight between Dubai and London Gatwick Airport. The new service will be operated by the Airbus A350, the latest addition to the fleet, featuring state-of-the-art interiors and enhanced options for passengers in Business Class and Premium Economy.
A Commitment to Flexibility and Onboard Experience
With this new frequency, Emirates will operate a total of 12 daily flights between Dubai and London, spread across three airports: Gatwick, Heathrow, and Stansted. This provides passengers with greater flexibility in departure and arrival times, catering to diverse travel needs.
The flight will depart Dubai at 17:05, arriving in London Gatwick at 20:50. The return flight will take off from London at 23:55 and land in Dubai at 11:00 the following day.
The timing is no coincidence: travelers arriving at Gatwick will find it ideal for hotel check-in and starting their itineraries without delay. Conversely, those departing from Dubai can maximize their stay, concluding business meetings, shopping, or last-minute activities before their evening flight.

The new flight will be operated by an Airbus A350-900 in a three-class configuration: 32 lie-flat Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 layout, 28 Premium Economy seats, and 238 Economy Class seats. The onboard experience will feature cutting-edge technology, including wireless charging in Business Class, electric window shades with the Ghaf tree motif in premium cabins, digital menus via ice screens, and other thoughtful details designed to elevate passenger comfort.
Gatwick: Second UK City to Welcome Emirates’ A350
With this addition, Gatwick becomes the second destination in the UK—after Edinburgh—to be served by Emirates’ Airbus A350. Furthermore, the airline will expand its UK operations to 140 weekly flights across eight key destinations: London Gatwick, London Heathrow, London Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, and Edinburgh, utilizing a mix of A350, A380, and Boeing 777 aircraft.
Emirates’ new service positions London among the global cities served by the airline’s Airbus A350, alongside Lyon, Bologna, Dammam, Mumbai, Edinburgh, Bahrain, Colombo, Kuwait, Muscat, Tunis, Amman, Istanbul, and Ahmedabad. This underscores the airline’s commitment to connectivity and fleet modernization.
