The Dubai-based airline is increasing its services to Lagos with 11 weekly flights, starting from 1 July, 2022. The airline will ramp up its operations to the Nigerian city to offer a double daily service starting from September 1, 2022 - taking the airline’s services to pre-pandemic levels.

In line with rising demand, the airline will be scaling up flights to Mauritius from daily to nine weekly flights between April 9, 2022 and the end of June 2022, and then moving up to double daily flights from July 2022.

Emirates’ second daily flight will provide an important boost to tourism to the Indian Ocean destination which has now relaxed entry restrictions for travellers.

Under the codeshare agreement with Air Mauritius, customers of both airlines can enjoy greater access and seamless connectivity to and from the island-nation.

The airline will also increase passenger services to Singapore from seven weekly flights, to 14 weekly flights, starting from June 23, 2022. The added service will meet the increased demand for travel, since the country safely reopened to international tourists and eased travel restrictions.
