Emirates is again increasing its presence in the South African market by adding four new flights between Durban and Dubai to its December/January schedule. 
The additional flights will operate on December 17, December 27, December 31 and January 11. 

Fouad Caunhye, Emirates Regional Manager for Southern Africa, says: “The move to add extra flights out of Durban during December/January, as with all commercial decisions, was driven by anticipated passengers demand. Families like to travel around milestone events such as the new year and we anticipate growth.” 

Dinesh Naidoo, Group Operations Director of Serendipity Tours, says there has been increased demand for people wanting to fly international direct from Durban. “Durban has the capacity to handle one or two more international direct flights. We would have loved to see [Emirates] open more flights during this period for all of us to sell.”
