“Tourism KwaZulu-Natal is elated that Emirates will be launching direct flights to our beautiful province, which will now be opened to the world – making inbound and outbound travel far easier and cost effective," said Ndabo Khoza, Chief Executive Officer of Tourism KwaZulu-Natal.

"With the introduction of Durban, Emirates will open the gates to the rest of the world for KwaZulu-Natal. Travellers from the region will now have the opportunity to explore destinations on six continents. The profile of South Africa will be further boosted, which will help in educating international visitors about this magnificent province and country," commented South African Regional Manager for Emirates, Fouad Caunhye.
