Emirates resumes Daily Flight services to Edinburgh, Scottish capital for the first time since 2020. The largest international airline’s daily service departs Dubai at 14:50 local time and reaches Edinburgh at 19:05 local time. The return flight departs at 20:40 and reaches Dubai at 08:05.
Edinburgh is Emirates’ eighth destination in the UK. Several flights of the airline serve multiple airports in the country regularly, including London Stansted, Birmingham and Manchester. In recent years, Emirates has been receiving a number of notable prizes.
Emirates is going to play an important role in boosting tourism to Scotland. The scenic country recorded 4 million international visitor arrivals last year – contributing £3.59 billion to the economy. This is a 23% increase compared to the year before.
Perks of direct connectivity to Dubai?
The UK is one of the most important markets for Emirates. The airline is proud to be returning to the Scottish capital after several years. Scottish customers can expect an elevated experience onboard, initially via Boeing 777 and later via the highly anticipated arrival of A350.
The chief executive of Edinburgh airport noted that direct connectivity to Dubai is something that is appreciated by both business and leisure passengers. Through Emirates, customers can easily connect to other popular long-haul destinations such as India and Thailand.
Emirates’ daily flight operations to Edinburgh are also set to boost cargo capacity and enable the airline’s cargo arm – Emirates SkyCargo – to uplift 16 tonnes of cargo per flight, subsequently supporting local businesses and improving trade connections.
Customers choosing the Emirates flight from the Scottish capital to the UAE megacity can expect the international airline’s regionally inspired gourmet meals, premium beverage selection and inflight entertainment supported by the availability of 6,500 channels.
Perfect time to explore Dubai in all its glory
There is a lot happening in Dubai at the time (more than the plethora of activities available to engage in year-round). The emirate is popular among both business and leisure travellers. The colder months of the year ensure an ambient atmosphere to venture out.
Dubai turns into a must-visit destination on NYE as the skyscrapers improve the skyline further and different places in the city host entertaining concerts. You can indeed look for delicacies being served at affordable rates at different corners of Dubai.
Dubai’s beloved Sheikh Zayed Festival and Global Village have arrived for their latest seasons, bringing some of the best cultural and shopping experience to residents and tourists. These places play host to numerous country pavilions, ensuring an all-round experience.
What makes you a good journalist? Hopefully, I can find a convincing answer to it someday.From Btech in Civil Engineering to pursuing Masters in Journalism and Mass Communication, it has been quite a journey. I have a keen interest in investigative journalism and exploring the latest developments in the Gulf region.
I care about ethical reporting and bringing something new to the table. Overall, if not a writer, I believe I would have been a globetrotter or a pet-sitter.
