Emirates will introduce a fourth daily flight between Dubai and London Gatwick from 8 February 2026.
Operated by the airline’s newest aircraft, the Airbus A350, flight EK069/070 will allow customers to experience its latest generation interiors, including Business Class and Premium Economy.
London Gatwick is the second UK destination to receive Emirates’ new A350 aircraft after Edinburgh.
The three-class configuration has lie-flat Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 layout, 28 Premium Economy seats and 238 Economy Class seats.
Customers can also look forward to next generation tech touches including wireless charging in Business Class, electric window blinds and digital inflight menus on ice screens.
The fourth flight to London Gatwick brings the airline’s total London-bound services to 12 flights across three airports.
Emirates flight EK069 will depart Dubai at 17:05hrs, arriving in London Gatwick at 20:50hrs. The return flight, EK070, departs London Gatwick at 23:55hrs and lands in Dubai at 11:00hrs.
The unique timing as the last flight of the day between Dubai and London in both directions is good news for customers traveling directly between the two cities.
For customers traveling to Dubai, the service provides the ideal arrival time to check-in to their hotel. Customers departing Dubai can make the most of their time in the city, finishing business meetings or completing last-minute activities before returning to London.
London joins a growing list of global cities served by Emirates’ newest aircraft, including Lyon, Bologna, Dammam, Mumbai, Edinburgh, Bahrain, Colombo, Kuwait, Muscat, Tunis, Amman, Istanbul and Ahmedabad.
The new fourth daily flight will also expand Emirates’ UK operations to 140 weekly flights to eight key gateways: London Gatwick, London Heathrow, London Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow and Edinburgh – operated with a mix of A350s, A380s and Boeing 777s.
