Emirates has announced that it will launch a fourth daily flight between Dubai and London Gatwick, starting 8 February 2026. The new service will be operated by the airline’s latest Airbus A350, offering passengers access to its most advanced interiors to date.
This expansion reinforces Emirates’ commitment to connecting global cities with comfort and frequency. The new route will give customers even more flexibility when flying between the UAE and the UK, one of the busiest long-haul markets in the world.

The Airbus A350 will feature Emirates’ next-generation Business Class and the increasingly popular Premium Economy cabin. The aircraft is part of Emirates’ fleet renewal programme, which focuses on delivering quieter, more fuel-efficient jets with upgraded passenger comfort.
“We’re excited to introduce the A350 on one of our most important routes,” said an Emirates spokesperson. “The new cabin features and increased frequency offer more choices for business and leisure travellers alike.”
According to WAM, Emirates is gradually deploying the A350 across high-traffic routes to enhance its premium offerings and support its sustainability goals.
The Dubai to London corridor remains a key route for trade, tourism, and family connections. With four daily flights now linking Dubai International Airport (DXB) and London Gatwick (LGW), Emirates will operate up to 11 daily services to London airports, including Heathrow and Stansted.
This move supports the UAE’s aviation growth strategy and strengthens its ties with the UK, one of Dubai’s largest tourism and investment partners. The increased capacity comes just in time for the spring travel season, catering to demand for both leisure and corporate travel.
