Emirates to add 4 weekly Dubai-Manila flights

Emirates will add four weekly flights on its Dubai–Manila route from 2 April 2026, increasing its total frequency to 32 flights per week.  

 

The additional services will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, departing Dubai International Airport (DXB) at 12:45 and arriving at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) at 01:25. The return leg will leave Manila at 03:25, landing in Dubai at 08:25. 

 

Operated by the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, flights will feature three cabin classes with eight First Class suites, 42 Business Class seats and 304 Economy seats. 

 

The increased capacity will strengthen connectivity through DXB, providing passengers with shorter layovers on onward flights to the US, Canada and key European hubs including Milan, London, Budapest and Athens.

In partnership with Philippine Airlines, Emirates also provides connections to additional domestic destinations, covering five cities via Manila, seven via Cebu and three via Clark. 

 

Serving Manila since 1990, Emirates marks nearly four decades of operations to the urban port city. The airline recently expanded its brand presence in the city with the opening of its first Emirates World Store in Southeast Asia, offering a range of branded merchandise.

 

Elsewhere in Asia, Emirates is set to introduce its Premium Economy cabins on flights to Taipei from 15 March and to Phuket from 1 July, as part of the rollout of its new A350 aircraft and retrofitted Boeing 777s.
