Emirates adds fourth daily flight to Johannesburg

This follows the recent announcement of the second daily A380 between Dubai and Johannesburg, which launched on 1 September.

Adnan Kazim, Emirates deputy president and chief commercial officer said: “South Africa has long been a highly popular destination for both leisure and business travellers connecting to and through Dubai, and the fourth daily flight enables us to better serve the growing demand for travel to and from the market. We’d like to extend our thanks to the South African authorities for their partnership and support in securing this new service, which reinstates the capacity we offered South Africa pre-pandemic, with 49 weekly flights, across three gateways. As we reflect on nearly three decades of operations to the market, we remain committed to driving inbound travel to South Africa, supporting the government as they aim make tourism the leading economic contributor and vehicle for transformation, as well as encouraging more inwards investment to the country.”

The fourth daily service will begin on 1 March, 2025, and will be operated on a three-class Boeing 777-300ER.
