31 OCTOBER 2014
EMIRATES, a global connector of people and places, has started its second service between Dubai and Dar es Salaam with the arrival this past weekend of the first flight of the new five times weekly frequency.
The new fives times weekly service complements Emirates’ existing daily operation between the two cities, and is expected to further boost inbound and outbound passenger traffic and cargo flows between Tanzania and Dubai, and Emirates’ extensive worldwide network.
“Dar es Salaam is an important destination in our east African network. In our last financial year we carried over 180 000 customers on the route and this second service is expected to further boost trade and tourism growth, and will also offer our customers more choice and convenience from Tanzania to Dubai and onward to Europe, the United States, India and the Fast East, as well as other destinations across Emirates extensive global network,” said Khalid Al Zarouni, Emirates Country Manager for Tanzania.
“This second service also makes Dar es Salaam the second destination in East Africa, after Nairobi, to have more than a daily frequency,” he added.
The new flight is operated with an Emirates A330-200, in a three class configuration with 12 seats in First Class, 42 in Business Class and 183 in Economy Class, adding a total of 2370 seats and up to 170 tons of cargo capacity a week on the route. Emirates customers will enjoy cuisine prepared by gourmet chefs and the world famous services from Emirates multi-national cabin crew, including Tanzanian nationals. Customers in all three classes enjoy generous baggage allowances, with 50 kg in First Class, 40kg in Business Class and 30kg in Economy Class.
