Hot on the heels of the August 3 news that the UAE will allow South Africans to transit in Dubai comes the news that Emirates will lay on 18 flights a week from South Africa to Dubai.
The airline says by August 12 it will provide daily flights from Johannesburg (and double-daily from Johannesburg on four days of the week), four flights a week from Durban and three flights a week from Cape Town.
Travellers from South Africa are not required to be vaccinated, nor to take PCR tests for their transit through Dubai, but need to adhere to the visa, testing and vaccination requirements of the end destination.
