Emirates, the world's largest international airline, has announced an expansion of its operations across Africa. The airline will introduce additional flights to Entebbe in Uganda, Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, and Johannesburg in South Africa. This move is part of Emirates' strategy to enhance connectivity and support the development of air transport markets on the continent.
Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer stated, "Africa has long been a priority region for Emirates, and we will deepen our strategic focus of expansion and continued investment on the continent." He added that these additional frequencies would help support regional growth by providing critical links through Dubai to emerging economies in Asia and the Middle East.
Starting October 27th, Emirates increased its flights between Dubai and Uganda from five weekly services to daily operations. This change adds 718 seats weekly between Dubai-Entebbe. In addition to passenger services, Emirates SkyCargo will benefit from these additional flights alongside its eight dedicated freighters deployed weekly.
