Emirates Introduce Additional Flight To Cape Town

Starting March 27, Emirates will introduce an additional daily service to Cape Town. Flights will depart Dubai at 03h50, arriving in Cape Town at 11h40. The return service will depart Cape Town at 13h40, arriving in Dubai at 01h15 the following day.

The airline says the second service “vastly” improves connections to the Americas and Europe. EK773 is operated by an Airbus 340-500 carrying 258 passengers in a three-class configuration.
With the introduction of the additional flight Emirates now operates six daily international flights out of South Africa, increasing its frequencies to a total of 42 per week.

In addition, the airline has also announced 100% increase in frequency between Dubai and Seychelles. This route will be serviced by 14 flights a week by the end of the year.
From March 28, the service will increase to 12 weekly flights and two further frequencies will be added to the winter schedule, making it a double daily service.
