Emirates Boosts UK Services with Fourth Daily Flight to London Gatwick
Emirates is boosting its UK services with a significant expansion. Starting 8 February 2026, a fourth daily flight to London Gatwick will commence, using the modern Airbus A350. This move aims to provide more convenience and flexibility during peak travel seasons.
The new overnight flights from London to Dubai will offer seamless connections to key destinations in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. This expansion will increase Emirates' total weekly UK services to 90 by early 2026.
Passengers can expect a premium onboard experience. The flights will feature regionally inspired menus, an extensive beverage selection, and over 6,500 entertainment options via the ice inflight system. The additional flights will use Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, offering over 350 seats across First, Business, and Economy classes.
Flight EK41 will depart Dubai at various times Monday through Sunday, with return flight EK42 from London optimized for connections. By February 2026, Emirates will operate 146 weekly flights across its three London airports and regional UK gateways.
Emirates is adding six additional weekly flights to London Heathrow starting 26 October 2025. This expansion, along with the new Gatwick service, reflects the airline's commitment to providing more options and convenience for its passengers.
