Emirates in major flight schedule upgrade to meet UK passenger demand

Long-haul carrier Emirates is returning to its pre-pandemic flight schedules as it continues to upgrade UK operations to meet sustained demand. The airline will restart its thrice daily service from Manchester Airport on October 1, adding a daily Boeing 777 flight to its existing twice daily A380 service, operating seven days a week.

From October 30, this schedule will be further upgraded with a third daily A380 service offering capacity to fly more than 1,500 passengers to Dubai every day. The revised flight schedule will see Emirates reintroduce flight EK022 which will depart Manchester at 9:50am, arriving in Dubai at 8pm local time.

Return flight, EK021 will depart Dubai at 3am, arriving in Manchester at 7:45am local time up until October 30 when a slightly later schedule will operate. By October, Emirates will serve the UK with 110 weekly flights across seven UK hubs including Heathrow, Gatwick, London Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle and Glasgow.
