Emirates has increased its Dubai–Cape Town service to three daily round trips from July 1.
The airline previously operated two daily round trips. Airbus A350-900 aircraft are used on the route. Flight time is 9 hours and 40 minutes from Dubai and 9 hours and 25 minutes from Cape Town.
Afzal Parambil, Emirates’ Regional Manager for South Africa, commented, “Cape Town is one of the most popular destinations in our African network. By launching a third service with our latest aircraft, we are demonstrating our strong commitment to this market. The new service provides travelers with more options and makes it easier to connect to our global network via Dubai.”
From Cape Town, the service meets both leisure and business demand through convenient connections to London, Dublin, Mumbai, Brussels, Australasia, and major cities in Asia. Demand remains strong throughout the year, with demand from Middle Eastern countries continuing to grow, while outbound demand to Europe and the United States is also steady.
