Emirates to Fly Daily to Edinburgh from Dubai

: May 9, 2018 - : 3:09 am

Emirates has announced it will start a daily service between Scotland’s capital city, Edinburgh, and Dubai from October 1, 2018.

 

The Dubai-based airline will be using a 777-300ER, in a 3-class cabin configuration,

for this new route. Emirates’ existing twice-daily service from Glasgow to Dubai will continue, as will the service from Newcastle.

 

“We’re increasing our capacity to Scotland to meet growing demand, and by introducing a daily flight to Edinburgh, it will complement our current double daily flights between Dubai and Glasgow,” Khaleej Times quoted Hubert Frach, Emirates’ divisional senior vice-president, commercial operations, West.

 

The airline will also be adding another London departure point, Stansted, in June.

 

Among the other airlines based in the middle-east, the Doha based Qatar Airways launched a new route from Cardiffon 1 May. Meanwhile Abu Dhabi based Etihad is shrinking its UK operations to combat heavy losses after a series of disastrous investments in failing European airlines. It recently revealed a loss of £80 per passenger carried.

 

Flight EK023 will depart Dubai daily at 9.55am and arrive in Edinburgh at 2.50pm, while the return flight, EK024 will depart Edinburgh at 8.15pm and arrive in Dubai at 6.40am the next morning.
