Middle-Eastern carrier Emirates confirmed it will introduce a third daily Boeing 777-300ER service on the Dublin–Dubai route from 26 October 2025. Flight EK165 departs Dubai at 02:10, arriving in Dublin at 06:25, giving Irish travellers an early-morning arrival and greater same-day connectivity to Sydney, Melbourne and Bangkok.
The expansion restores Emirates’ Dublin capacity to 2019 levels and reflects continued demand from multinational firms for one-stop links to Asia-Pacific headquarters. “The additional frequencies will help Irish exporters reach 70 onward destinations with sub-three-hour layovers,” the carrier said.
Dublin Airport operator DAA welcomed the move, noting that Middle-East hub capacity also boosts inbound tourism from Australia and the Gulf. Travel-management companies predict corporate fares will fall as Etihad and Qatar Airways match schedules in the winter timetable.
For relocation managers, the extra flight improves options for short-notice assignments to the UAE and beyond, while the early arrival slot eases same-day onward domestic connections to Cork and Belfast. The service will also carry freight in the belly hold, benefiting high-value pharmaceutical exports.
