Airline Emirates has announced plans to operate a host of new services linking the UK with Dubai with demand for travel expected to surge when coronavirus restrictions are eased.
It will operate its popular A380 aircraft four times a day to London Heathrow from November 27 and six times a week to Manchester from December 2.
Emirates will also increase flights to Birmingham and Glasgow from the current four-a-week to daily services at both cities, from November 27 and December 1 respectively.
Emirates’ services to Manchester will increase from the current eight-a-week to 10 flights per week from December 1, of which six will be served by an Emirates A380 and four with a Boeing 777-300ER.
At London Heathrow, Emirates’ current twice daily A380 and once daily Boeing 777 flights will become four daily A380 services from November 27.
The announcement represents a significant expansion of Emirates services to the UK, following the recent establishment of the UK-UAE air travel corridor which has led to increased demand.
In the other direction, UK travellers heading to Dubai can opt to do their Covid-19 PCR tests 96 hours in advance of their flight, or on arrival in Dubai, adding to the ease of travel.
The Dubai-based airline has also announced it will deploy additional A380 services to Moscow from the current two-a-week, to a daily service from November 25.
