Back to the Highlands
Emirates first launched operations to Edinburgh in 2018 using a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The airline will now resume operations to the city using its new A350 aircraft, which has spacious cabins, high ceilings, and customised mood lighting.
Customers travelling from Edinburgh can also access the airline’s extensive network of more than 130 destinations via Dubai, including popular destinations such as Maldives, Bangkok, Sydney, and Bali.
Emirates’ daily flight to Edinburgh will also boost cargo capacity and enable Emirates SkyCargo, the airline’s cargo arm, to uplift 16 tonnes of cargo per flight. This will support local businesses, improve trade links with global markets, and increase popular exports such as salmon, shellfish, and whisky.

Edinburgh is a very popular leisure and business destination. The city’s Old and New Town are designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. With charming streets, historic castles, and a thriving arts and culture scene, the city has something for everyone.
