Emirates is set to introduce an additional weekly flight on its Dubai-Antananarivo route, starting from Friday, the thirteenth of December, twenty twenty-four, and continuing until the tenth of January, twenty twenty-five. This expansion adds a new service every Friday, addressing the increased demand expected during the holiday season. With this addition, weekly seat capacity will surpass one thousand eight hundred in both directions, providing travelers with more options during this busy travel period.

The additional flights, operating as EK Seven Zero Seven and EK Seven Zero Eight, will connect Dubai, Seychelles, and Madagascar using Boeing Seven Seven Seven Three Hundred ER aircraft. Passengers can benefit from the service’s three-class configuration, offering comfort and flexibility for long journeys. This temporary adjustment is aimed at supporting holiday travel while strengthening links between Madagascar, Seychelles, and Emirates’ extensive global network.

For travelers, the announcement opens up exciting opportunities to discover the Indian Ocean's remarkable destinations. Madagascar’s lush biodiversity, including its famous lemurs and unique baobab trees, presents an unmatched adventure for nature enthusiasts. In contrast, Seychelles, with its world-renowned beaches and crystal-clear waters, remains a top choice for those seeking luxury and tranquility in an unspoiled setting.

Furthermore, the revised schedule simplifies multi-destination travel, enabling visitors to combine Seychelles' serene islands with Madagascar’s vibrant ecosystems and cultural heritage. By enhancing connectivity, these flights encourage exploration of these often-overlooked destinations, appealing to eco-tourists, luxury seekers, and cultural travelers alike.

This move reflects Emirates’ commitment to expanding travel options while promoting tourism in the region. For Madagascar and Seychelles, the increased passenger traffic can significantly boost local economies and foster greater cultural exchange.
