Emirates Announces 24th Africa Destination

Emirates will provide a linked service to Conakry, the capital city of Guinea, from October 27. 

The linking of Conakry to the four times weekly Dubai to Dakar service will provide new opportunities for business and leisure travellers.  

Conakry is the largest city of Guinea in West Africa. It is situated on the Atlantic Ocean and serves as the economic, financial and cultural centre of the country with an estimated population of 1.5 million people.  

“The linking of Conakry takes the number of Emirates destinations in Africa to 24, which is a firm demonstration of our commitment to Africa and helping unlock its enormous potential as one of the fastest growing economic regions of the world,” said Hubert Frach, Emirates’ Divisional Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations West.

“Guinea is a developing economy and has a strong mining sector, and by linking Conakry to the Dakar route, it will help to support business, international trade and passenger travel to and from the country.” he added.

The Dubai-Dakar-Conakry service will provide direct connections at Dubai in both directions with Emirates’ New Zealand flights.
