Emirates has announced the addition of 6 weekly flights to its schedule to London Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom from October 26 this month, opening up more opportunities for travelers and providing wider travel options.
A press release published on the Emirates website said the move follows record growth and demand recorded by the airline, giving customers more flexibility and convenient departure time options to and from London Heathrow Airport, and coincides with the peak year-end travel season.
Emirates currently operates 6 daily flights to and from London Heathrow Airport on its Airbus A380 superjumbo aircraft, and the airline will operate the additional flights every day of the week except Friday during the winter season using its Boeing 777 aircraft, which offers more than 350 seats in a three-class configuration: First, Business and Economy.
The airline has strategically scheduled the new flights to depart London Heathrow for Dubai at night, enabling travelers to easily continue their journeys to destinations such as Durban, Phuket, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Jakarta.
The flights to London Heathrow also offer ideal connection times for travelers coming from cities in West Asia such as Ahmedabad, Lahore, the Maldives, Hyderabad and Chennai, and from cities in mainland China such as Beijing and Shanghai, as well as numerous points in the Middle East such as Bahrain, Dammam and Riyadh.
Flight EK41 departs Dubai at 13:40, arriving at London Heathrow at 17:40 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, while return flight EK42 will depart London Heathrow at 22:35 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays, arriving in Dubai at 09:35 the following morning.
On Tuesdays and Saturdays, flight EK42 departs London Heathrow at 21:20, arriving in Dubai at 08:20 the following morning. All times are local in Dubai and London.
On Thursdays, flight EK41 departs Dubai at 12:55, arriving at London Heathrow at 16:55, while return flight EK42 departs London Heathrow at 21:20, arriving in Dubai at 08:20 the following morning. All times are local in Dubai and London.

Emirates' flight frequency to London Heathrow and London Gatwick will rise to 90 weekly flights by early next year. The airline announced last month the launch of a fourth daily flight to London Gatwick from February 8, 2026, on its latest Airbus A350 aircraft.
By February 2026, Emirates will serve the United Kingdom with 146 weekly flights covering London's three airports, Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted, as well as regional airports including Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
