DUBAI, UAE, 5 December 2024: Emirates will introduce a fifth weekly flight on its Dubai-Antananarivo route, starting 13 December 2024, for four weeks to meet demand from holidaymakers during the busy travel period.
The additional weekly flight scheduled on Fridays will provide more capacity from the world’s fourth-largest island nation to more than 1,800 seats in each direction per week and will support seasonal demand for travel.
Following the success of the launch of services to Madagascar in September, Emirates’ increase of capacity on its Dubai/Seychelles/Antananarivo route will help the airline to meet market demand and allow customers to enjoy greater flexibility, choice, and connectivity when planning their travel.
