Emirates to operate additional flight to London Gatwick with third daily service

Emirates will increase the frequency of its services to/from London Gatwick airport with the addition of a third daily flight, effective 27 July until 3 August 2022.In order to meet the huge demand from tourists heading to and from London this summer, a third daily flight will be added. Additionally, it will provide extra seats for Emirates passengers impacted by capacity changes on flights departing from London Heathrow, which will be implemented in an effort to ease operational pressures at the airport.

Customers of Emirates who will be impacted by the capacity changes at London Heathrow will be contacted directly by the airline or their travel agent. In order to rebook any impacted reservations and guarantee that clients have a smooth transition to their next flight, the airline is collaborating closely with its travel partners.

A wide-body Emirates Boeing 777 aircraft with First, Business, and Economy class seating will fly an extra journey to London Gatwick every day. The morning will see the operation of flights EK011 and EK012. Emirates is appreciative for the assistance of London Gatwick Airport and other local partners who have been collaborating closely with the airline to ensure enough ground handling resources to deal with the increased demand and guarantee a safe and dependable journey for passengers.

Emirates will continue to operate its six daily flights to/from London Heathrow during this period, and its planned re-start of daily services to London Stansted will commence on 1 August.
