Emirates to fly daily to Durban

DUBAI – Following the successful start of operations in Cape Town, Emirates Airline will advance its presence in South Africa with the introduction of daily flights to Durban, starting December 1, 2008.

The new service will be Emirates’ third direct connection between Dubai and South Africa after Johannesburg and Cape Town.

First discovered by Vasco de Gama in 1497, Durban is situated in KwaZulu Natal, otherwise known as the Zulu Kingdom, and is a fascinating blend of British, Zulu and Indian history.

Emirates will serve Durban with an Airbus A330-200 aircraft offering 27 Business Class and 251 Economy Class seats.
