Emirates has announced the resumption of daily passenger services to Johannesburg, effective from March 11, but this service appears to be inbound only.
Flight EK763 will leave Dubai for Johannesburg at 06h05 daily, but the return flight, EK764, leaving at 16h50 daily, is designated for cargo only.
The airline directs potential inbound passengers to take a Covid‑19 PCR test within 72 hours of departure and carry the negative certificate, and to download the Covid Alert South Africa app and complete the traveller health questionnaire before departure. Children under five are exempt from the PCR test.
The airline says: “Due to government entry restrictions imposed on travel from South Africa to/via Dubai, EK flights (passenger flights into Dubai) are cancelled.”
