Emirates will deploy A380 superjumbo jets when it resumes operations to London Gatwick Airport from 10 December.
It is upgrading planned capacity in response to a spike in passenger demand.
The Emirates A380 will replace the scheduled B777, resulting in an increase in capacity of almost 50% on the London Gatwick – Dubai route.
Operating across First, Business and Economy class, flight EK015, will depart Dubai International (DXB) at 0740 and arrive in London Gatwick (LGW) at 1140, while flight EK016 will depart London Gatwick at 1335 and arrive in Dubai at 0040 the following day.
Customers travelling in premium cabins enjoy the OnBoard Lounge and fully flat seats in Business Class, as well as First Class private suites and Shower Spa.
The addition of London Gatwick Airport to flight schedules in December will restore Emirates’ UK operations to six gateways, alongside the six times daily A380 London Heathrow service; double daily A380 flights to Manchester, ten weekly service to Birmingham, daily service to Glasgow, and four weekly service to Newcastle.
By the end of December, the airline will offer 84 weekly flights to the UK.
"London Gatwick Airport has long been a valued partner for Emirates and we look forward to welcoming passengers back onboard Emirates’ flagship aircraft soon," said Richard Jewsbury, Divisional Vice President UK.
