Emirates airline plans to add a fourth daily flight to Johannesburg, South Africa to meet the growing demand from travelers. This follows the recent announcement of the second daily A380 between Dubai and Johannesburg, which launched on 1 September.
The fourth daily service will begin on 1 March, 2025, and will be operated on a three-class Boeing 777-300ER, offering an additional 708 seats in and out of South Africa’s largest and busiest international airport every day. Customers taking advantage of the expanded Emirates schedule to Johannesburg can reach a further 60 regional points in Africa via codeshare and interline agreements with four key partners like South African Airways, Airlink , Cemair, FlySafair.
These partnerships provide greater connectivity for passengers across Africa to access Emirates' service, while also enabling international travellers to seamlessly explore more of Africa.
In addition to enhancing passenger travel, the new flight increases cargo capacity in and out of South Africa, offering 300 tonnes via the belly of the Boeing 777, weekly.
