Overview
- New services operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays as EK330/331, with EK330 departing Dubai at 12:45pm and EK331 leaving Manila at 3:25am (local times).
- The expansion lifts Emirates’ Philippines schedule from 28 to 34 weekly flights beginning April 2, 2026.
- Flights will be operated by Boeing 777-300ER aircraft configured with First Class private suites, lie-flat Business seats and Economy cabins.
- The timing provides shorter connections via Dubai to Canada, the United States and late-morning European departures including Milan, London, Budapest and Athens.
- Additional frequencies increase bellyhold capacity—up to about 20 tonnes per 777—to strengthen cargo flows, with broader domestic reach supported through a partnership with Philippine Airlines.
