Dubai-based airline Emirates will operate flights to Dubai and Ahmedabad, India from Dar es Salaam, starting October.
Emirates area manager for Tanzania Bader Abdulnoor Ahli, told The EastAfrican that the firm will launch six flights a week to operate between Dubai and Ahmedabad at the start of the winter timetable, on October 28.
The flights will be operated in two- and three-class configurations using the modern A330-200 and Boeing 777-200 aircraft.
The Emirates’ Dubai-Ahmedabad service will take approximately three hours, and will inject over 1,500 passenger seats and 100-plus tonnes of cargo capacity per week into the route.
The airline currently operates daily non-stop direct flights with an Airbus 330-200 from Dar es Salaam to Dubai and onward to over 84 destinations worldwide including the East African region, Africa, Middle East and South Asia.
Ahmedabad is the latest in a series of new routes, namely Newcastle, Sao Paulo, Toronto, and Houston, to be launched by the Dubai-based airline this year.
