Emirates pushes deeper into Africa
DUBAI – Emirates will launch direct services to Senegal – the Dubai-based airline’s 106th international destination – in September.
Dakar is the airline’s third new African destination in less than 12 months, after Durban and Luanda joined the network in late 2009.
Emirates will fly non-stop to Dakar five times a week, operating an Airbus A340-300 aircraft, in a three-class configuration.
In November 2009, the Emirates Group announced a joint agreement with the Government of Senegal to assist in the start up and longer term future of Senegal Airlines.
Emirates will provide commercial support, technical expertise, training and aviation-related goods and services for the fledgling carrier, which is due to commence operations later this year.
