Emirates will continue to use an Airbus 330-200 on the route offering 12 luxurious First Class seats, 42 seats in Business Class and generous space for 183 passengers in Economy Class, and 18 tons of bellyhold cargo.

“By providing an extra flight, we are responding to strong demand from our customers for our Khartoum-Dubai services,” said Jean Luc Grillet, Emirates’ senior vice president, commercial operations, Africa.

“This additional flight will offer customers greater flexibility in choosing their travel times as well as help support further business and tourism opportunities in Sudan,” said the vice president.

From Dec. 5, EK 0733 will depart Dubai every day at 1500hrs, touching down at Khartoum Civil Airport at 1825hrs the same day. The return flight, EK 0734, departs Khartoum at 1955hrs and arrives in Dubai at 0045hrs the following day.

The service connects seamlessly with flights from Dubai to the ever-increasing number of destinations across the Emirates network.

Emirates launched services to Khartoum in 2002.
