Briefing
Adds six weekly Dubai–Heathrow flights from 26 Oct 2025, lifting winter frequency to 48 weekly and reinstating a seventh daily rotation (except Fridays); by 8 Feb 2026 Emirates will serve three London gateways with 90 weekly flights.
Heathrow is already running at peak summer volumes — the airport reported more than eight million passengers in August and says it is operating at capacity — so additional Gulf frequencies intensify slot and terminal pressure and operational risk. (Heathrow handled a record 8 million passengers in August and says it's at capacity)
The new services will deploy Boeing 777‑300ER equipment and follow Emirates' broader scaling of crew and fleet capacity — the carrier is mid‑way through a recruitment drive targeting 1,500 pilots to support network growth. (Emirates ramps pilot hiring — 1,500 new pilots targeted over two years)
