Trade and tourism ties between long-standing partners UAE and South Africa are expected to strengthen with the announcement that Dubai-based Emirates Airline, one of the world's fastest-growing international carriers, will launch daily flights to Cape Town, effective 30th March 2008.
Cape Town, a perennial favourite for tourists, will be Emirates' second gateway in South Africa, and its 15th in the African continent.
On the route, Emirates will operate its Airbus A330-200 in a three class configuration of 12 First, 42 Business and 183 Economy Class seats. From 1st October the aircraft type will be revised to the larger capacity Boeing 777-200 offering 12 First, 42 Business and 236 Economy Class seats.
