Emirates to restore South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mauritius routes from Oct

September 24, 2020: Emirates will resume flights to Johannesburg, Harare, and Cape Town (October 1); Durban (October 4); and Mauritius (October 3). 

The addition of the five points will expand the Emirates’ global network to 92 destinations, as the airline gradually resumes its operations. 

Customers flying in and out of Emirates’ three South African gateways can connect to Dubai and to an array of onwards connections to Europe, the Far East, Middle East, West Asia and Australasia. 

Emirates will operate to Harare with two weekly flights linked to its Lusaka service. The linked services will connect Zambia and Zimbabwe to key destinations across Europe, the Far East, the Americas, Australasia and West Asia with one stop in Dubai.

Flights from Dubai to Mauritius will initially operate once a week on Saturdays, supporting the Mauritian government’s repatriation efforts to bring its citizens home, and enabling the recovery of the country’s tourism industry by connecting leisure travellers from Europe, the Far East and the Middle East to the popular Indian Ocean island destination.
