Emirates will introduce a fifth weekly flight on its Dubai-Antananarivo route, starting December 13 for four weeks to meet demand from holidaymakers during the busy travel period. The additional weekly flight on Fridays will provide more capacity from the world’s fourth largest island nation to over 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 permit customers to enjoy greater flexibility, choice, and connectivity, when planning their travel, a media release from the company stated. The additional weekly frequency on the two linked services will operate in a three-class configuration. Boosting connectivity to the Seychelles and Madagascar provides more convenience for customers travelling between these countries and other popular destinations in Emirates’ network including the UAE, Sri Lanka, France and other select points in Europe, UK, mainland China and the US.
