Emirates to launch new service to...

Flights will operate four times a week from September 2024

Emirates will begin flights to Madagascar via the Seychelles later this year, the airline has announced.

The flights from Dubai (DXB) to Antananarivo (TNR) will operate four times a week on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 3 September 2024.

EK707 will depart from Dubai at 8:55am, arriving in Mahé, Seychelle sat 1:35pm, and will continue onto Antananarivo, Madagascar, landing at 4:50pm.

The return flight EK708 departs Antananarivo at 6:35pm, landing in Mahé at 10:20pm. The flight takes off from Mahé at 11:50pm, landing in Dubai at 4:20am the following day.

Emirates says the new route will provide connectivity from more than 140 points in its global network, supporting the Madagascar Ministry of Tourism’s strategy to diversify target markets and introduce international travellers to the island’s attractions.

Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, Adnan Kazim, said: “Madagascar has historically been underserved, despite a growing appetite from travellers for authentic ecotourism experiences. We’re confident that this new service will have a positive impact on boosting Madagascar’s connectivity, offering more opportunities for travellers to discover this hidden gem, in addition to opening up new international business opportunities.”

The UAE and Madagascar have grown their bilateral relationship across several sectors, including commerce, logistics and other industries to reinforce mutual trade growth. Emirates is also in discussions with Air Madagascar to offer further global connectivity to promote trade and tourism.
