Emirates increases air services to Sudan

Emirates has increased the number of its flights to Sudan by launching an extra weekly service to Khartoum that will be effective starting from August 4. The move will bring the total number of flights to the region to four per week. The additional flight will add over 950 seats per month in each direction, and is expected to contribute significantly to economic and tourism growth in Sudan. "This additional service will offer customers greater flexibility in choosing their travel times as well as help support further business and tourism opportunities in Sudan," said Jean Luc Grillet, Senior Vice-President of Commercial Operations for Africa.
