Emirates to operate 4 weekly flights to South Africa from Dec 1

Dubai-based airline Emirates will operate passenger flights to a South African city from December 1 to December 31, 2021.

The announcement comes after UAE recently suspended flights and entry of travellers from seven African countries due to concerns related to the new Covid-19 Omicron variant.

The airline added that due to current travel restrictions, it will not be carrying outbound passengers from Johannesburg. Until further notice, Emirates has temporarily suspended passenger operations to and from Durban and Cape Town
