Emirates takes flight from London Stansted again
Emirates has restarted flying from London Stansted as it continues to rebuild its UK and global network.
It flew its first commercial flight from Stansted since pausing operations in March 2020 due to the pandemic.
There are plans to increase capacity from five-weekly services to a daily flight schedule.
With the return of services to Stansted, Emirates has ramped up its operations to London with nine daily flights, including six daily flights at Heathrow and double daily at Gatwick.
Stansted flights will be served by Emirates’ wide-body Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.
Richard Jewsbury, Emirates Divisional Vice President in the UK, said, “We are delighted to be recommencing services. Bookings in the UK and London have continued to surge.”
“Stansted is a key hub for Emirates in the East and Southeast of the UK.”
In addition to resuming Stansted flights Newcastle services will revert to pre-Covid schedules from 30 October.
By October 2022, the airline will be serving the UK with 110 weekly flights, including: six times daily to London Heathrow and three times daily to Manchester.
