Emirates Boosts Dublin Service with Third Daily Flight

Starting October 26, 2025, Emirates will enhance its Irish operations by adding a third daily flight to Dublin.

This move by the world’s largest international airline offers travellers more options to reach Dubai and beyond.

It also increases cargo capacity to and from Dublin, strengthening trade connections.

EK165 Dublin-Dubai Service

The new flight, EK165, departs Dubai at 2:10 AM and lands in Dublin at 6:25 AM local time. The return flight, EK166, leaves Dublin at 8:25 AM and arrives in Dubai at 8:00 PM local time.

This early morning departure complements Emirates’ existing afternoon and evening flights, giving Irish passengers greater flexibility.

The additional service will use a Boeing 777-300ER, featuring a three-class setup. Passengers can enjoy 8 private First Class suites, 42 lie-flat Business Class seats, and 304 spacious Economy Class seats.

This setup ensures comfort for all passengers, whether flying for business or leisure.

The third daily flight improves access to Emirates’ vast network. Popular destinations like Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok are now easier to reach. This expanded service connects Dublin to the world, offering seamless travel options for Irish passengers

Upgraded Inflight Experience

Last month, Emirates introduced a retrofitted Boeing 777 on the Dublin-Dubai route. This aircraft boasts a four-class configuration, including the airline’s award-winning Premium Economy cabin and an upgraded Business Class experience.

A second refurbished Boeing 777 will join the route on October 16, further enhancing passenger comfort.

Travellers can expect Emirates’ signature hospitality from its diverse crew. Onboard, enjoy regionally inspired meals and the airline’s renowned ice entertainment system, featuring up to 6,500 channels of movies, TV shows, podcasts, and more.

Premium passengers will also savour a taste of Ireland with VOYA bathroom amenities, Keogh’s Crisps, and Killowen yogurt.

Conclusion

This expansion underscores Emirates’ long-term investment in Ireland, offering more choice, and connectivity for travellers while boosting cargo capacity.

Emirates’ continued presence also supports tourism, business, and economic growth. The additional flight further boosts Dublin Airport’s role as a global hub.
