Emirates will increase the frequency of its services to and from London Gatwick airport with the addition of a third daily flight, effective July 27 until August 3, 2022.
This third daily flight will help serve high demand from customers traveling to and from London this summer. It 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. Recently, Emirates said it would not comply with Heathrow’s demand of airlines to cut capacity. On that note, Emirates’ customers impacted by capacity adjustments at London Heathrow will be contacted directly by the airline or their travel agent. 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 planned destination.
The additional daily flight to London Gatwick will be operated by a wide-body 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.
The airline said in a press announcement that it is 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.
Emirates will continue to operate its six daily flights to/from London Heathrow during this period, and its planned restart of daily services to London Stansted will commence on August 1.
