Emirates puts more seats on Nairobi-Dubai route

Emirates will switch from current Airbus A330-200 aircraft used for Nairobi-Dubai services to a larger Boeing 777-300 ER from May 1.

The move will boost capacity on the route by 1,638 seats a week, and make Nairobi an all-Boeing 777 operation. The larger aircraft also provides a total of 77 tonnes of additional cargo capacity per week on the route, further facilitating trade opportunities between Kenya and Emirates' extensive global route network.
