Operated via a Boeing 777-300ER, the additional flight will add 718 seats to and from Dubai-Entebbe every week, connecting to popular onward destinations from Dubai, such as Canada, the US, India and the UK, to name a few.

At the 2024 Arabian Travel Market, Emirates signed an MoU with the Uganda Tourism Board to encourage a diverse range of international travellers to experience the destination\u2019s abundance of natural, cultural and adventure attractions. The additional frequency will further support this as Uganda continues to invest in building its tourism proposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ringing in the new year, Emirates will also increase frequency in <a href=\"https:\/\/email.media.emirates.email\/c\/eJxskLGO9CAQg58GuqxggMAWFH_Da6yGHbIZKYFfgbu8_ilprrnOhWX7M8UMc5Ylam-UccEpI8uOvL2YogAIOgQvAOQawZn56TyCNZbIKKcIip89zu-is9OSIyiwWhmtvAqgHzaHgPq5eK0Wu9AirNoLMT7KzgeO0h93ldziOsb_Lsw_AUlAOs_z1_Juu4BU6mfjvgpIVPrgioNb7QLSsvFnHX0abUIi7hNmzCggySNSq0frfazCKn5v7YuuNNlLJa6fF7UduV6Uf626oEe85XS_IL8j_AQAAP__3DtfEQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ethiopia<\/a>, with a daily flight connecting Dubai and Addis Abba from 1 January 2025.
