Emirates presently flies into seven UK gateways. The airline will operate 110 weekly flights by October 2022 to serve the nation, including six daily flights to London Heathrow, daily flights to London Stansted, twice-daily A380 flights to Gatwick, three daily flights to Manchester, including a double-daily A380 service (starting October 1, 2022), twice-daily flights to Birmingham, five weekly flights to Newcastle, and daily flights to Glasgow.
