The additional services have been strategically timed to connect overnight departures from London Heathrow (LHR) to Dubai (DXB) with onward links across Asia and Africa.

Destinations such as Durban, Phuket, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Jakarta benefit from convenient connections.

Inbound flights into London Heathrow will also provide better schedules for travellers from cities including Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Chennai, Lahore, Malé, and major Middle Eastern hubs like Bahrain (BAH), Dammam (DMM), and Riyadh (RUH).

Wider UK Network Growth

This includes services to London Heathrow (LHR), London Gatwick (LGW), London Stansted (STN), as well as regional gateways Manchester (MAN), Birmingham (BHX), Newcastle (NCL), Glasgow (GLA), and Edinburgh (EDI).

Earlier, the airline confirmed a fourth daily service to London Gatwick (LGW) starting 8 February 2026, operated by the new Airbus A350. Combined, Emirates will offer 90 weekly flights to London’s three airports by early next year.
