Emirates has announced an expansion of its services out of London’s Heathrow Airport, with six more weekly flights due to come on stream from October 26 – taking its total weekly flights at Heathrow to 48.

The boosted schedule for the winter season follows record growth and demand, providing more convenience and departure time choices for travellers journeying to and from London Heathrow, and is well-timed to serve the year-end travel peak.

The enhanced schedule will see Emirates’ three London gateways served with 90 weekly flights by next February.

Emirates already flies six times a day to and from London Heathrow, and all flights are served by its flagship Airbus A380. The additional flights will operate on all days except for Fridays during the winter period with the airline’s Boeing 777-300ER, offering over 350 seats each way in a three-class configuration split between First, Business, and Economy.
