Emirates will launch a fourth daily flight between Dubai and London Gatwick starting February 8, 2026, further strengthening its UK operations. The new service, EK069/070, will be operated using the airline’s next-generation Airbus A350-900, featuring three-class cabins including Business, Premium Economy, and Economy.
The additional flight takes Emirates’ London operations to 12 daily services across Gatwick, Heathrow, and Stansted, offering greater flexibility and convenience for travelers. The A350 service will feature cutting-edge amenities such as wireless charging in Business Class, electric window blinds, and digital inflight menus.
Flight EK069 will depart Dubai at 17:05hrs and arrive in London Gatwick at 20:50hrs. The return flight, EK070, departs Gatwick at 23:55hrs and lands in Dubai at 11:00hrs the next day. The schedule provides customers with more options, including a late-night departure ideal for business travelers and leisure visitors looking to maximize time in either city.
Gatwick becomes the second UK airport after Edinburgh to receive Emirates’ A350 service. The expansion brings Emirates’ UK presence to 140 weekly flights across eight cities including Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow.
