Emirates has announced a reduction in its Airbus A380 flights to London Gatwick Airport, cutting back from three to two daily services. This change follows the airline's recent acquisition of slots that would allow for an increase to four daily flights at the airport.
The airline plans to reallocate one of its A380 aircraft to Zurich Airport, introducing a second daily A380 flight there this winter. The third service to Gatwick will continue with a Boeing 777-300ER instead of an A380.
Cirium data indicates that starting January 2026, Emirates will maintain only two daily Airbus A380 flights between Dubai International Airport and London Gatwick. These changes are reflected on the Emirates website through June 24, 2026.
