Emirates has announced the reinstatement of its third daily flight between Dubai and Rome, starting 1 June 2025.

Travellers can enjoy Emirates’ award-winning service and industry-leading products in the air and on the ground across all classes, as well as regionally inspired dishes such as seafood antipasti, chicken with fregola pomodoro and Italian-style affogato al caffe. The airline’s ice inflight entertainment system offers more than 6,500 channels of on-demand entertainment in over 40 languages, including popular Italian movies and documentaries, as well as Hollywood movies and TV shows with Italian subtitles, and more.
