Yes UM is flying to DXB twice a week. Yes they had one pax on one of their flights but am sure it will pick. Just have to be optimistic with these things. Still is a very great company to work for with a great safety record. But then again if you view anything associated with Zim with contempt it obviuosly won't be your cup of tea. Don't be fooled by some people in this forum wwho will jump to say UM is bla, bla, bla only cause they have resentment for the country or for Bob. Every airline has problem and UM is no exception. Give them a try if the oportunity arises.
