The Gulf carrier will deploy larger Airbus A380 aircraft on the route instead of Boeing B777s, offering almost 50% more capacity than planned.
It will offer three classes, First, Business and Economy, with flight EK015 scheduled to depart Dubai at 7.40am on 10 December arriving Gatwick at 11.40am.
Return flight EK016 will depart Gatwick at 1.35pm arriving Dubai at 12.40am the following day.
Richard Jewsbury, Emirates divisional vice-president UK, said: “Upgrading the Gatwick route to our A380 will help us meet ever growing demand for international travel from the British public.
