- Fourth daily London Gatwick flight will be operated by the airline’s Airbus A350
- The newest operational upgrade contributes Emirates’ London presence to 12 daily flights from three airports
Emirates is launching a fourth daily flight between Dubai and London Gatwick from 8 February 2026. Flight EK069/070 will be operated by the airline’s latest aircraft, the Airbus A350, which provides customers with the option to sample its newest generation interiors, such as Business Class and Premium Economy.
The fourth daily London Gatwick service adds to the airline’s total London services of 12 flights across three airports, giving customers more departure time choices and more convenience.
Emirates EK069 will depart Dubai at 17:05hrs and arrive at London Gatwick at 20:50hrs. The outbound flight, EK070, departs London Gatwick at 23:55hrs and arrives in Dubai at 11:00hrs.
The timing of the new service at the end of the evening’s final Dubai-London flight in each direction is convenient for customers traveling point to point between the two cities.
For customers going to Dubai, the timing is ideal for customers to check into hotels and get a head start on Dubai activities.
Travelers departing Dubai on the flight are best served to make the most of their time in the city—fulfilling business meetings, enjoying extended shopping, or achieving final undertakings—before flying out with the late night flight to London.
Featuring 32 lie-flat Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 layout, 28 Premium Economy seats, and 238 Economy Class seats, Emirates’ new EK069/070 service will be flown by an A350-900 aircraft in a three-class configuration.
In addition to Emirates’ iconic next-generation aircraft and award-winning service, travelers can also look forward to innovative technology touches like wireless charging on Business Class seats, electric window blinds with the Emirates Ghaf tree pattern when closed in premium cabins, digital inflight menus on ice screens, and more.
Connecting London to the world Gatwick will be the second UK airport to host Emirates’ new A350 aircraft after Edinburgh.
The additional fourth daily service will also boost Emirates’ UK operations to 140 weekly flights a week to eight gateways: London Gatwick, London Heathrow, London Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow and Edinburgh – operated by a mix of A350s, A380s and Boeing 777s.
London will be joining a growing list of key cities worldwide to be served by Emirates’ new aircraft, including Lyon, Bologna, Dammam, Mumbai, Edinburgh, Bahrain, Colombo, Kuwait, Muscat, Tunis, Amman, Istanbul and Ahmedabad.
Booking can be made on emirates.com, or via the Emirates App, Emirates Retail stores, Emirates contact centre, or at travel agents.
