Richard Jewsbury, Emirates’ UK divisional vice president said: “As we gear up to the peak travel season this winter, we’re pleased to offer customers enhanced connectivity to Dubai and onwards to popular destinations such as India, the Maldives, Bali and Australia.

“We continue to see sustained market demand across our network and look forward to welcoming our customers from London and the surrounding region onboard Emirates.” 
 
The addition follows Emirates’ recent resumption of Airbus A380 services to Birmingham and Glasgow, double daily services to Stansted and more capacity to Newcastle and Gatwick. The airline currently has 126 flights a week to the UK.
