Emirates will introduce a fourth daily flight between Dubai and London Gatwick starting 8 February 2026. The new service, EK069/070, will be operated by the airline’s Airbus A350 aircraft, which features updated interiors including Business Class and Premium Economy.

With this addition, Emirates will operate a total of 12 daily flights to London across three airports. This move aims to provide customers with more options for departure times and increased flexibility.

According to Emirates, “The fourth flight to London Gatwick brings the airline's total London services to 12 flights across three airports, offering customers more departure time choices and greater flexibility.”

Flight EK069 is scheduled to depart Dubai at 17:05hrs and arrive in London Gatwick at 20:50hrs. The return flight, EK070, leaves London Gatwick at 23:55hrs and lands in Dubai at 11:00hrs the following day.

“The new service’s unique timing as the last flight of the day between Dubai and London in both directions caters to customers traveling directly between the two cities. For those traveling to Dubai, the service provides the ideal arrival time for customers to check-in to their hotels and get a head start on their Dubai activities. Customers departing Dubai on the flight can make the most of their time in the city—finishing business meetings, enjoying extended shopping, or completing last-minute activities—before taking the evening flight to London,” Emirates stated.

The A350-900 aircraft operating this route will have a three-class configuration with 32 lie-flat Business Class seats arranged in a 1-2-1 layout, 28 Premium Economy seats, and 238 Economy Class seats. Passengers can expect amenities such as wireless charging in Business Class, electric window blinds featuring the Emirates Ghaf tree motif in premium classes, digital inflight menus on ice screens, among other features.

Gatwick will become Emirates’ second UK destination served by its new A350 after Edinburgh. With this additional frequency, Emirates’ UK operations will reach 140 weekly flights across eight destinations: London Gatwick, London Heathrow, London Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow and Edinburgh. These routes are served using a mix of A350s, A380s and Boeing 777s.

London joins other global cities now served by Emirates’ latest aircraft model.
