Emirates returns to Edinburgh

We are thrilled to be welcoming Emirates back to Edinburgh to resume that direct connection between Scotland's capital and one of the world's most sought out destinations in Dubai.

Direct connectivity to Dubai is something that will be welcomed by both business and leisure passengers, while the onward connections through the vast Emirates network also opens up a plethora of opportunities for travel.

The return of Emirates has been one we have all been excited about and we are already looking forward to the introduction of the airline's first A350, which offers passengers the chance to experience Emirates' acclaimed Premium Economy product and its brand-new Business Class cabin.

We are delighted to see Emirates once again building on its capacity and its support for Scotland’s global connectivity with the return of a direct service into Edinburgh.

It comes a time when international visitor demand for Scotland is reaching record highs, surpassing both pre-pandemic levels and growth in other parts of the UK. This presents an even greater opportunity to tap into strong and growing markets like Australia and India. These visitors, who often stay longer and spend more, play a crucial role in Scotland’s visitor economy.

Good connectivity and a strong air route network are essential for the sustainable growth of Scotland’s thriving tourism and events industry. Making it easier for visitors to reach us helps make Scotland as a must-visit, must-return destination.
