Emirates to launch Stansted flights
Emirates will launch a new daily route from London Stansted to Dubai next summer.
Launching on June 8, the route will be operated by the airline’s new three-class Boeing 777-300ER.
Outbound flight EK33 will depart Dubai at 09:30, and will arrive in London Stansted at 14:10.
On its return, flight EK34 will depart London Stansted at 21:10 and arrive in Dubai at 07:05 the following day.
Laurie Berryman, Emirates vice president UK, said: "The introduction of the new London Stansted-Dubai route not only signifies 10 daily flights between Dubai and three different London Airports, but is also welcome news to businesses based in the Stansted catchment area who, before now, travelled to central London to fly to airports with global reach.
“The additional gateway will also prove useful to the new start-ups and existing SMEs, which form a growing section of the Cambridge business community. We pride ourselves as an airline in connecting people and economies and the addition of the Stansted gateway is the latest on our growing network."
Ken O’Toole, London Stansted chief executive, said: "At this crucial time, the new Emirates services will provide an important boost to the UK economy by strengthening international connectivity and offering greater choice and convenience for passengers travelling to long haul destinations.
“London Stansted has seen significant capital investment and growth since its acquisition by MAG in 2013 and we’re looking forward to working with Emirates as we move forward with the next phase of development of the airport and its network of destinations."
Emirates already flies from London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Birmingham, Newcastle, Manchester and Glasgow.
