Emirates has announced a new daily service from London Stansted to Dubai set to start in June 2018.
Emirates UK vice president Laurie Berryman said: “The introduction of the new London Stansted to 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 airport's chief executive Ken O'Toole said: "We're delighted that Emirates has recognised the strength of London Stansted's catchment and the opportunity that our available runway capacity gives them to continue growing in the South East of England over the next decade.
Emirates will become the first Middle Eastern carrier to operate out of Essex Airport.
