Emirates to go daily to Zimbabwe

Wednesday, 27 June 20123 min read

Emirates continues to expand its footprint in Africa.

The airline will increase the number of flights to Zimbabwe from five days a week to a daily service starting October 1.

The airline, taking advantage of Air Zimbabwe’s troubles, started servicing the Dubai-Lusaka-Harare route in February this year.

Emirates vice president of commercial operations for Africa, Jean Luc Grillet, said the airline was expanding its service due to "increased demand"

The demand for flights to Harare is being driven by a rebound in tourism and mining.
