Starting from 1 May, Emirates will operate five weekly flights to Bali, utilising a two-class Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.

With its spectacular mountains, picturesque beaches and cultural appeal, Bali is considered to be a world-leading tourist destination.
Starting from 1 August 2022, Emirates will resume flight operations to London Stansted with five weekly flights, utilising Emirates’ Boeing 777-300ER aircraft fitted with the ‘Game Changer’ First Class product. From 1 September, the airline will increase its services to offer a daily flight.

From 1 February 2023, Emirates will scale up its operations to a daily service, offering customers greater convenience, choice and flexibility while planning their travel.
Boosting operations to Nigeria, Mauritius and Singapore
Emirates is ramping up its services to Lagos with 11 weekly flights, starting from 1 July 2022. The airline will ramp up its operations to the Nigerian city to offer a double daily service starting from 1 September 2022 – taking the airline’s services to pre-pandemic levels. Emirates will also increase its services to Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja, to offer five weekly flights starting 1 May 2022 and then a daily service from 1 September 2022.
In line with rising demand, the airline will be scaling up flights to Mauritius from daily to nine weekly flights between 9 April 2022 and the end of June 2022 and then moving up to double daily flights from July 2022. Emirates’ second daily flight will provide an important boost to tourism to the Indian Ocean destination, which has now relaxed entry restrictions for travellers. Under the codeshare agreement with Air Mauritius, customers of both airlines can enjoy greater access and seamless connectivity to and from the island nation.
The airline will also increase passenger services to Singapore from seven weekly flights to 14 weekly flights, starting on 23 June 2022. The added service will meet the increased demand for travel since the country safely reopened to international tourists and eased travel restrictions.
