Emirates is set to launch a third non-stop service between Dubai and Melbourne, commencing on March 30, 2025. This new service will utilize a retrofitted four-class Boeing 777-300ER, featuring the airline's Premium Economy product and latest Business class seats.

Currently, Emirates operates two daily non-stop flights from Dubai to Melbourne using Airbus A380s and an additional flight via Singapore with a Boeing 777-300ER. The Singapore-Melbourne route will cease operations on March 30, 2025. The new direct flight will be designated as EK404/405. Flight EK404 departs Dubai at 21:15hrs, arriving in Melbourne at 17:40hrs the next day. The return flight EK405 leaves Melbourne at 23:55hrs and arrives in Dubai at 07:00hrs.

The introduction of this third daily flight offers passengers more convenient schedules and connectivity options through Dubai to various European cities such as London, Paris, and Frankfurt.

The refurbished Boeing 777 includes eight First Class Suites, forty Business Class seats, twenty-four Premium Economy seats, and two hundred fifty-six Economy Class seats. Emirates' Premium Economy cabins were recognized as 'Best in Class' at the 2024 Business Traveller Asia-Pacific awards.

In addition to expanding its services to Melbourne, Emirates has reinstated its second Perth service from December 1st. This move increases weekly seat availability to nearly twelve thousand for routes connecting Perth with destinations like London and Dublin.

On October 28th, Emirates resumed services to Adelaide. Currently, the airline operates seventy-seven weekly flights across five Australian cities—Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide—facilitating tourism development and economic activity.

Emirates remains committed to Australia with significant investments beyond aviation operations. It employs hundreds of Australians globally and supports local businesses through partnerships. Recently signed agreements between the UAE and Australia aim to enhance economic ties further.

The codeshare partnership between Emirates and Qantas continues to provide extensive network access for customers across Australia and New Zealand.

Affected customers booked on the Singapore-Melbourne route will receive alternative travel arrangements or full refunds if necessary.
