Emirates is boosting its service to London Gatwick to three times daily from 1 August, bringing forward plans to increase frequency on the route.
The Dubai-based carrier had originally planned to launch the additional service from its hub in December, but because of growing demand it moved its plans forward.
Airline UK & Ireland manager Mohammed Shareef Raheem says: "The growth of our UK business has been rapid and this ninth daily Emirates service, our third from Gatwick, represents simply the next phase of our on-going expansion."
The carrier operates the route with its fleet of Airbus A330-200s. Emirates also flies to London Heathrow three times daily, twice daily to Manchester in northern UK and daily to Birmingham in the UK Midlands.
