Commencing April 2, Emirates airline will introduce four new weekly flights between Dubai and Manila, as part of an ongoing growth strategy in Southeast Asia.
Current Details on the Flights
Emirates has announced that these new flights will take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The EK330 flight will depart from Dubai at 12:45 p.m., with estimated arrival in Manila at 1:25 a.m. of the following day. Departure from Manila on the EK331 flight is scheduled for 3:25 a.m., and landing in Dubai at 8:25 a.m. (all local times).
The flights will be operated on a Boeing 777-300ER, which features eight private suites for first class, 42 lie-flat seats in business class, and 304 seats in economy. The aircraft can also carry up to 20 tonnes of cargo with a full passenger load, meaning this expansion increases cargo capacity and further strengthens imports and exports between the two locations.
A Partnership with Philippine Airlines
Emirates first launched services to Manila in 1990 and now currently serves the Philippines with 28 weekly flights, soon to be 34. Through a partnership with Philippine Airlines (PAL), travellers are connected beyond the airline’s own network with five domestic points via Manila, seven via Cebu, and three via Clark. With the addition of the new flights, shorter connections from and to Canada and the United States, and some late morning European departures are on offer for travellers.
In 2025, an Emirates World Store opened in Manila, the very first in Southeast Asia, which allows customers to look at popular Emirates products. This includes branded merchandise, travel accessories, and the A380 onboard lounge bar. Those flying to and from Manila on the new flights can expect the usual regionally-inspired dishes and complimentary beverages that define Emirates’ service.
