Announcing the new promotional fares, Emirates Country Manager for
Tanzania Khalid Al Zarouni said: “We are offering our economy and business class customers
upto 25% discount as thank you gesture for their continued support for
Emirates. Through this support, we will be increasing our service into and out
of Tanzania by additional five weekly service starting October 26, 2014.”
EK 727 and 728 will be in service every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Saturday and Sunday and will complement Emirates’ existing daily operation,
EK725, further boosting inbound and outbound passenger traffic and cargo flows
between Tanzania and Dubai, and Emirates’ worldwide network.
The new flight will be operated with an Emirates A330-200, in a three
class configuration with 12 seats in First Class, 42 in Business Class and 183
in Economy Class, adding a total of 2,370 seats and up to 170 tons of cargo
capacity a week on the route.
“Our services have gone from strength to
strength over the years and for the last 17 years we have operated in this
market, we have seen demand for our services grow. This has necessitated the
introduction of additional five weekly flights out of Dar es Salaam,” he said.
Emirates started a twice weekly service between Dubai and Dar es Salaam
linked with Nairobi on 28th October 1997 using an Airbus A310-300. Following
steady growth and demand on the route over the years, the frequency and
capacity was increased and the flight was delinked from Nairobi, becoming a
daily non-stop service between Dubai and Dar es Salaam in 2006.
Currently,
the airline operates daily flights between Dar es Salaam and Dubai and onward
to more than 140 destinations in 81 countries across six continents, and it’s the
world’s largest operator of Boeing 777 and A380 aircraft.
