Emirates Adds Fourth Daily Flight to Johannesburg, South Africa

Emirates is bringing even more choice, connectivity, and premium travel options to Johannesburg, South Africa with the addition of a fourth daily flight on the high-demand route.

This follows the recent announcement of the second daily A380 between Dubai and Johannesburg, which launched on 1 September, reaffirming the importance of South Africa on the airline’s extensive global network. 

The fourth daily service will begin on 1 March, 2025, and will be operated on a three-class Boeing 777-300ER, offering an additional 708 seats in and out of South Africa’s largest and busiest international airport every day, broadening options for leisure and business travellers alike. 

Flight EK767 will depart Dubai at 00:10hrs, arriving in Johannesburg at 06:20hrs. Flight EK768 will depart Johannesburg at 10:15hrs arriving in Dubai at 20:15hrs. This expands the airline’s schedule to introduce a morning departure from Johannesburg. 

The fourth daily flight further supports connectivity across Emirates’ global network of over 140 destinations, optimising schedules to key destinations including Dubai, Thailand and India as well as European hotspots such as UK, France, the Netherlands and Germany. 

Customers taking advantage of the expanded Emirates schedule to Johannesburg can reach a further 60 regional points in Africa via codeshare and interline agreements with four key partners.

In the last 29 years, Emirates has established itself as a long-term partner of South African aviation, tourism and trade, since the inaugural flight to Johannesburg in June 1995. Since then, the airline has scaled operations, increased frequencies and gateways to Cape Town and Durban and served over 20 million passengers to and from the market.

In October 2011, Emirates first deployed its flagship A380 to Johannesburg, bringing the airline's world-class products and services to South Africa, and now offers two daily flights from Johannesburg on the iconic double-decker aircraft.
