Emirates continues to develop and rebuild its route network with a host of exciting announcements in recent days.
The airline says it’ll resume its Tokyo-Haneda service from the 2nd of April, 2023. The Boeing 777 has been selected as the aircraft to operate EK321. The flight will depart Dubai at 07:50 and arrive in Haneda at 22:35. Following a 2-and-a-half-hour layover, the plane will leave the following day at 00:05 and arrive in Dubai at 06:20.
Japan has experienced post-pandemic travel and tourism, and Emirates’ resumption of services is the latest vote of confidence to Japan. Emirates launched their Haneda route in 2013. Since it’s been a fundamental part of connecting the locations and boosting travellers’ choice and flexibility.
Meanwhile, the airline announced it would double its service to Brisbane, Australia. Complimenting a daily Airbus A380 service, a 777-300ER will also operate daily from the city to Dubai. It results in almost 12,000 seats per week. The announcement comes following celebrations of 20 years of serving Brisbane. This is a pivotal gateway to Australia’s global network and part of its recovery from the pandemic.

The 777-300ER service will operate as EK430/431. EK430 will depart Dubai at 02:30 to arrive in Brisbane at 22:20. The return flight, EK431, will depart Brisbane at 02:50 and arrive in Dubai at 11:00.
Our second daily service to Brisbane begins as we proudly celebrate 20 years of flying to the sunshine state. Not only will this service cater to the demand of Australians looking to travel overseas, but also welcome more travellers and tourists from Dubai and across our global network to enjoy Queensland, Australia’s tourism mecca.

Look forward to getting back on with Emirates. Travelled with them before Brissy to London. Totally satisfied , just hope it brings down the price👍
The prices are certainly a frustrating part about flying, that’s for sure, and as I’m sure you know, in Australia it’s even more pricey! I hope you can fly them again, and thanks for your support!
Sincerely hope Emirates starts flying to Atlanta, US soon. Being one of the most important airports in the US, not sure why aren’t they flying here.
Excited to see where they go next, that’s for sure!
Ek best airline in world wide
It’s certainly loved by many
Also, Emirates announced on Friday the 13th. The a380 would be returning to serve Glasgow daily.
Stay tuned for that piece!
Why no direct flights from Manchester uk. To Thailand
Why no direct flights from Manchester to Thailand
Given their base being in Dubai, only specific triangular routes get final approval and it must be deemed this isn’t well suited.
That would be great if fly to Canada, USA, and south america, Peru,has more tourists in a year,
Let’s wait and see where the 350s head!
Hope they can upgrade the aircraft they use to the DXB to Miami route soon!
Excited to see what’s to come!
Whatever happened to the Edinburgh – Dubai flight?
Emirates pulled the plug on the route due to pandemic related issues and are yet to resume.
I hope they will fly from Auckland New zelandto Dubai via Bangkok or Singapore or saigon again so we can have better flights to those places
When are you going to resume flights to Adelaide? Melbourne flights are packed with South Aussie’s.
You’d have to ask Emirates that
Looking forward to getting back to flying with Emirates again. Always flew with them from Sydney to Stansted (return) via Dubai. Hoping Emirates return to flying into Stansted, Essex, England.
Double daily service into London Stansted by this summer!
