Emirates will launch a daily direct flight between Dubai and Helsinki from October 1, 2026, marking the only year-round non-stop air link between Finland and the UAE.
The new service will operate daily using the Airbus A350 aircraft. Emirates said the route reflects growing travel demand between the two markets and expands its presence in the Nordic region.
Flight schedule
Flight EK167 will depart Dubai at 08:45 and arrive in Helsinki at 14:55. The return flight, EK168, will leave Helsinki at 16:45 and land in Dubai at 00:20 the following day.
The airline said the schedule is designed to support onward connections through Dubai to destinations across Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and the Indian Ocean region.
Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer said, “The Dubai-Helsinki route is an exciting expansion on our global network. There is already strong demand between Helsinki and Dubai, with travellers connecting through our other Nordic gateways, so introducing direct, year-round connectivity is a natural next step, making the flight seamless and non-stop, while introducing more premium travel options to market.”
The route will be served by Emirates’ A350 aircraft, offering Business, Premium Economy and Economy cabins. The aircraft also provides cargo capacity to support trade between the UAE and Finland.
