EK ups Durban flights

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
passenger 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
internationally 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.”
