Emirates is set to cut one of its daily flights between Perth and Dubai
The early morning flight, which only recommenced in December 2024 after being scrapped in 2019, will stop operating from October 26, 2025.
'As part of our adjustment to the winter 2025 schedule, our second daily flight between Dubai and Perth (EK424/425) will be suspended from 26 October 2025,' an Emirates spokesperson told PerthNow.
The move comes less than a year after the service was brought back, and is expected to remove about 2000 seats a week from the route, a change that is tipped to lead to higher airfares.
'The decision follows a periodic operational review to optimise aircraft fleet utilisation and support our broader operations across Australia,' the spokesperson said.
'Emirates is committed to serving our customers, and those impacted will be booked on our other daily flight between Dubai and Perth (EK420/421), which will continue to operate as scheduled with an Airbus A380.'
Travellers booked on the discontinued flight have been notified and booked on other services.
