Emirates adds Dakar run

UAE-based Emirates will - from 01 September - launch flights to the Senegalese capital Dakar.

Ram Menen, Emirates' divisional senior vice president Cargo said: "With huge demand for fresh fish across our network, Dakar is a real catch for Emirates SkyCargo.

"Senegal has a reputation for fantastic seafood and Emirates is delighted that, as well as contributing to the development of the fishing industry, more and more people will be able to experience this wonderful taste of Africa."

Inbound to Dakar, the airline will carry oil industry equipment, textiles, electronics and garments.

Trade between the UAE and Senegal, excluding oil industry volumes, grew by 90 per cent between 2003 and 2008.
