Dubai: Emirates has touched down on November 5 in the Scottish capital for the first time since 2020. The Emirates Boeing 777 was warmly welcomed after landing at the airport.
Edinburgh is Emirates’ eighth destination in the UK. The daily service will complement the airline’s current A380 daily flight to Glasgow – offering customers 14 weekly flights to/from the country.
Emirates’ daily flight to Edinburgh will also boost cargo capacity and enable Emirates Skycargo, the airline’s cargo arm to uplift 16 tonnes of cargo per flight.
Emirates serves the UK with 133 weekly flights across eight gateways including London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, and Glasgow – utilising a fleet mix of Emirates A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft.
Emirates’ daily service to Edinburgh departs Dubai at 14:50hrs local time and arrives in Edinburgh at 19:05hrs local time. The return flight departs Edinburgh at 20:40hrs and arrives in Dubai at 08:05hrs, the following day.
