Emirates to operate 3rd daily flight to London Gatwick airport

Emirates will increase the frequency of its services to and from London Gatwick airport with the addition of a third daily flight, effective from 27 July until 3 August 2022.

The Dubai-based carrier will continue to operate its six daily flights to and from London Heathrow during this period, and its planned restart daily services to London Stansted from 1 August 2022.

The new service will also provide additional seats to accommodate Emirates passengers affected by capacity adjustments on flights from London Heathrow, which will be made to help ease operational pressures at the airport.

The airline is working closely with its travel partners to re-accommodate any impacted bookings and ensure smooth onward flight connections for customers to reach their final destination, and Emirates' customers impacted by capacity adjustments at London Heathrow will be contacted directly by the airline or their travel agent.

The additional daily flight to London Gatwick will be operated by a wide-body Emirates Boeing 777 aircraft offering seats in First, Business and Economy class. Flight EK011 and EK012 will operate to and out of London Gatwick in the morning.

An Emirates representative said: "We are grateful for the support of London Gatwick Airport, along other partners on the ground who have been working closely with the airline to secure sufficient ground handling resources to deal with the additional demand, and provide passengers with a smooth and reliable journey."
