Emirates currently flies six times a day to and from London Heathrow, each served by the Airbus A380 and now six more flights are being added every week. The additional flights will operate on all days except for Fridays during the winter period with the airline’s other aircraft option, the Boeing 777, offering over 350 seats each way in three classes between First, Business, and Economy.
