SINGAPORE, 3 October 2025: Emirates is unlocking more opportunities for travel with the addition of six weekly flights to its London Heathrow schedule, starting 26 October 2025.
The boosted schedule for the winter season follows record growth and demand, providing more convenience and departure time choices for travellers journeying to and from London Heathrow, and is well-timed to serve the year-end travel peak.
Emirates already flies six times a day to and from London Heathrow, and its flagship Airbus A380 serves all flights. The additional flights will operate on all days except Fridays during the winter period, utilising the airline’s Boeing 777-300ER, which offers over 350 seats in a three-class configuration, split between First, Business, and Economy classes.
Strategically timed overnight departures from London Heathrow to Dubai offer convenient onward connections to destinations such as Durban, Phuket, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Jakarta. Flights to London Heathrow offer well-timed connectivity for travellers coming from cities across West Asia, such as Ahmedabad, Lahore, the Maldives, Hyderabad, and Chennai, as well as Beijing and Shanghai on the Chinese mainland, and several points within the Middle East, including Bahrain, Dammam, and Riyadh.
Flight EK41 will depart Dubai on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 1340, arriving in London Heathrow at 1740. The return flight, EK42, departs London Heathrow at 2235 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, arriving in Dubai at 0935 the next day.
