Emirates will operate its new A350 on its recently announced third daily frequency on the Dubai (DXB)-Cape Town (CPT) route. This will be the airline’s first African route served by an A350.
Afzal Parambil, Emirates Regional Manager of Southern Africa, said: “South Africa becomes the only African nation on our network to be served by all three aircraft types on the Emirates fleet.” The other frequencies are served by the airline’s fully retro-fitted Boeing 777 and A380 aircraft.
