The airline has increased flights to Johannesburg to 11 weekly flights, with four linked flights with Durban. Emirates tourism flights
Alderman James Vos, MEC for Economic Opportunities and Asset Management and Tourism at the City of Cape Town, said the renewed flights will further boost travel and trade between the two destinations.
"While international passenger volumes at Cape Town International Airport are at about 9 000 passengers per day, down from 15 000 prior to the third wave, the airport has seen a steady increase since the country returned to an adjusted Alert Level 3 lockdown. With more international airlines such as Emirates coming back on board, we are sure to see that number increase significantly.
"These renewed flights signal our important connection with Dubai. Our two great cities have forged a strong relationship. These flights are also yet another indication that Cape Town is opening up to existing source markets. And with the Air Access team, who receive funding from the City, working hard to bring more airlines here, I’m confident that we will soon be welcoming flights from new regions too," he said.
The airline has resumed passenger services to over 120 destinations, recovering close to 90% of its pre-pandemic network.
