Emirates has unveiled several changes to its flight schedule as part of its ongoing expansion and route renewal efforts. Starting from April 1, 2025, the Dubai-based airline will introduce a second daily flight to Beirut, further enhancing its connectivity to Lebanon.
The new nonstop service will operate as EK957, departing Dubai at 07:30 and arriving in Beirut at 10:30 local time. The return flight, EK958, will depart Beirut at 12:05, arriving back in Dubai at 16:55 local time. This service will be operated on Emirates’ popular Boeing 777-300ER, featuring three passenger classes.
In addition to the Beirut expansion, Emirates will reinstate its daily service to Baghdad, starting from February 1, 2025. The daily flight will be operated by a Boeing 777, with EK941 departing Dubai at 08:05 and arriving in Baghdad at 09:50. The return flight, EK942, will depart Baghdad at 11:25 and arrive in Dubai at 14:35.
However, there will be some variations in the flight times. On Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays, the flight times will remain as stated above. On the remaining days, the departure from Dubai will shift to 13:00, with the aircraft returning to Dubai at 19:10.
The introduction of the Airbus A350, which recently entered service, plays a key role in enabling Emirates to make these route changes and upgrades. With the added flexibility provided by the new aircraft, Emirates is now better equipped to expand its network and enhance its existing services.
These adjustments come as part of Emirates’ broader strategy to enhance its global network and provide more options for travelers across its key destinations.
