NAIROBI, Kenya July 26 – Emirates has announced plans to operate an additional daily flight to/from London Gatwick airport to cater to the high demand from customers this summer.
This third daily flight will also provide additional seats to accommodate Emirates passengers affected by capacity adjustments on flights from London Heathrow, which will be made to help ease operational pressures at the airport.
The additional flight will be available from July 27 to August 3.
Emirates’ customers impacted by capacity adjustments at London Heathrow will be contacted directly by the airline or their travel agent.
The airline is working closely with its travel partners to re-accommodate any impacted bookings and ensure smooth onward flight connections for customers to reach their planned destination.
The additional daily flight to London Gatwick will be operated by a wide-body Emirates Boeing 777 aircraft offering seats in First, Business and Economy class. Flight EK011 and EK012 will operate to and out of London Gatwick in the morning.
The airline will continue to operate its six daily flights to/from London Heathrow during this period, and its planned re-start of daily services to London Stansted will commence on August 1.
