Emirates to fly into London Stansted

The Dubai-based airline is starting daily flights into a third London airport from June 2018. Emirates will serve London Stansted, to the north-east of the UK capital, from June 8, 2018. The new service not only takes Emirates’ London offering up to 10 daily flights, but also opens up the east of the UK. 

Passengers into London Stansted can access the City of London via a direct 47-minute train into London Liverpool Street Station; the airport is close to the Cambridge Corridor, a leading location for tech and pharmaceutical companies, as well as tourism to the university city and the surrounding area, home to historic towns and villages, classic English countryside and protected seascapes, such as the Norfolk Coast.

‘There is a clear demand for this service from both business and leisure travellers,’ said Emirates president Tim Clark. The flights, operated on the airline’s Boeing 777-300ER (which include the fully enclosed First Class suites), depart Dubai at 9.30am, arriving at 2.10pm. Flights depart Stansted at 9.10pm and arrive in Dubai at 7.05am the next day.
