Airline to add fourth daily flight to Johannesburg
Emirates is to expand its presence in South Africa by adding a fourth daily flight on its route to Johannesburg.
The news follows the commencement of the carrier’s second daily A380 service between Dubai and Johannesburg, which launched on 1 September 2024. Its third daily service began in March 2023.
The airline’s fourth daily service will commence on 1 March 2025, and will be operated on a three-class Boeing 777-300ER, offering an extra 708 seats in and out of South Africa’s largest and busiest international airport.
EK767 will depart Dubai at 12:10am, arriving in Johannesburg at 6:20am. The return flight, EK768, will depart Johannesburg at 10:15am, landing at Dubai International Airport at 8:15pm, marking the airline’s first morning departure from Johannesburg.

“South Africa has long been a highly popular destination for both leisure and business travellers connecting to and through Dubai, and the fourth daily flight enables us to better serve the growing demand for travel to and from the market,” said Emirates Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer Adnan Kazim.
“We’d like to extend our thanks to the South African authorities for their partnership and support in securing this new service, which reinstates the capacity we offered South Africa pre-pandemic, with 49 weekly flights across three gateways.”
Passengers using the Emirates services can reach a further 60 regional points in Africa via codeshare and interline agreements with four partners.
