Launch of direct Durban flights imminent

October 1 sees the launch by Emirates
Airline of direct flights to Durban.
The airline already flies triple
daily on the Johannesburg route and
daily to Cape Town.
According to cargo manager Kum
Naicker, shippers and consignees
have been pushing for a foreign
carrier on the Durban route for some
time, while the agents are keen to
have their own exposure in
the region.
The new direct service will satisfy
all parties, he said.
