This is the first commercial flight the carrier has flown from Stansted since it paused operations from the London airport in March 2020 due to the pandemic.
The airline has advanced plans to increase capacity from five-weekly services to a daily flight, starting from Monday (1 August). With the return of services to Stansted, Emirates has ramped up its operations to London with nine daily flights, including six daily flights to Heathrow and a double daily flight to Gatwick.
