Keeping the momentum going

UAE's Emirates has been showing that it is eager and ready to connect passengers across the globe this month. After a daring stunt on top of the Burj Khalifa just over a week ago, the airline rolled out a new special livery today.

With this activity, the firm is continuing its expansion across the continents. Now, passengers traveling to and from South Africa have access to over 40 domestic and regional destinations in 12 nations across Africa.

After a period of flight suspensions, Emirates is now flying to South Africa again. So, the operator is making the most of the return with this agreement.

Overall, the two airlines are looking to give passengers the opportunity for smoother travel with competitive fares, efficient baggage transfers, and combined ticketing amid the agreement. Passengers of Emirates will notably benefit from the move when connecting with Airlink after arriving in Durban, Johannesburg, and Cape Town.

Travelers connecting between the two airlines can now connect to the following South African destinations:

  • George
  • Bloemfontein
  • Upington
  • Nelspruit
  • Hoedspruit
  • Kimberley
  • Port Elizabeth
  • Skukuza
  • Pietermaritzburg
  • Richards Bay
  • Mthatha
  • Sishen
