Emirates Adds a Third Daily Flight Between Dubai and Dublin for NW26
The carrier plans to expand its Irish operations during NW26 by introducing an additional daily Boeing 777 rotation between Dubai and Dublin.
Emirates in recent weeks filed schedule updates regarding a planned 3rd daily service connecting Dubai and Dublin for the NW26 period. This additional flight pairing, operating under flight numbers EK165 and EK166, is scheduled to commence on 01DEC26.
The new rotation will primarily utilize 777-300ER aircraft, although schedule filings indicate that various dates will see -200LR equipment operating on the sector. Operationally, flight EK165 is scheduled as DXB0210 to 0625DUB. The return segment, designated as EK166, is timetabled for DUB0825 to 2000DXB.
This third frequency complements the existing daily schedule operated with 77W aircraft between both destinations. Emirates already operates flight EK161 DXB0705 to 1120DUB returning as EK162 DUB1310 to 0045+1DXB, alongside another daily rotation formed by EK163 DXB1435 to 1855DUB and EK164 DUB2050 to 0810+1DXB.
