Emirates Expands Dubai-London Routes with New A350 Flights
Get ready for more options when booking your next trip to London! Emirates has announced an exciting addition to its flight schedule, introducing a fourth daily flight between Dubai and London Gatwick beginning February 8, 2026. This new route, designated EK069/070, will be operated by the airline’s state-of-the-art Airbus A350, a gem in their fleet designed to enhance the passenger experience significantly.
This expansion is a boon for travelers, increasing Emirates’ total flights to London to an impressive 12 weekly services across three major airports: Gatwick, Heathrow, and Stansted. This means more flexibility and departure times to cater to the varying needs of customers. The new EK069 flight will take off from Dubai at 17:05, landing in London Gatwick by 20:50. If you’re traveling back to Dubai, the return flight EK070 departs at 23:55, arriving in Dubai the next day at 11:00.
What makes this flight particularly appealing is its timing. For many travelers, the last flight of the day offers a seamless transition for those looking to maximize their time in the bustling city of Dubai. After a long day of meetings, shopping, or enjoying Dubai’s vibrant culture, passengers can conveniently board their flight to London, ready to unwind.
The A350-900, which will operate the new service, features 32 lie-flat Business Class seats arranged in a sophisticated 1-2-1 layout, ensuring that every traveler enjoys comfort and privacy. Additionally, there are 28 Premium Economy seats alongside 238 Economy Class seats, ensuring that travelers of all budgets can experience the feeling of flying in style. Passengers can look forward to an array of innovative technology including wireless charging facilities in Business Class, electric window blinds featuring the iconic Emirates Ghaf tree design, and digital inflight menus for an enhanced travel experience.
As Gatwick prepares to welcome Emirates’ new A350 aircraft, it joins Edinburgh as the second UK destination to benefit from this modern addition. Overall, the airline is ramping up its operations in the UK, offering a total of 140 weekly flights to eight key cities, all operated with a mix of A350s, A380s, and Boeing 777s.
With Emirates continuing to expand its reach, travelers can expect exceptional service and cutting-edge technology on their journeys. So whether you’re headed for a weekend getaway or a business trip, Emirates makes flying between Dubai and London more convenient and luxurious than ever.
