Emirates to resume flights to Zambia from September 4

Emirates announced flights to Lusaka, Zambia, will be resumed, starting September 4, with two weekly flights to and from Dubai.  

This will not only boost the airline's global network to 79 cities but will also broaden Emirates' reach into Africa with nine destinations served.

The resumption of flights will make it easier for Emirates customers in Zambia to travel to Dubai, and will provide an array of onward connections to Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and the Americas through the airline's Dubai hub.

Flights to Lusaka will operate on Fridays and Saturdays will depart from Dubai at 0820hrs, arriving in Lusaka at 1330hrs. The return flight departs Lusaka at 1530hrs, arriving in Dubai at 0025hrs the next day.

Customers can book flights on emirates.com or via travel agents.

All inbound and transit passengers, including UAE citizens, residents and tourists, arriving in the UAE will have to undergo mandatory Covid-19 PCR tests irrespective of the country they are coming from.
