As of December 1st of this year, Emirates Airlines will expand its service to South Africa with direct flights between its hub in Dubai, UAE to Durban. Durban will be the third city after Cape Town and Johannesburg to link Dubai with the tip of the African continent.

Emirates Airlines president Tim Clark says, “Emirates is grateful to the Government of South Africa for granting us the permission to launch operations to Durban. I am confident the new service will foster greater business, tourism and cultural exchange, and prove an asset in the growth plans of Durban.”

Our flights will provide travellers from key cities in Europe, the Indian-sub continent and Middle East a direct access to Durban and will strengthen inbound tourist arrivals. At the same time it will open up a direct link to over 90 global destinations for Durban’s outbound travellers who can now avoid travelling via Johannesburg.”
