Emirates increases flights to Madagascar

To meet the growing demand for travel to Madagascar, Emirates is expanding its flight offering to the island nation, increasing from four to six weekly frequencies starting April 2, 2025. This increase follows the airline's successful launch in the country in September 2024 and is part of the strategy to support Madagascar's tourism ambitions, aimed at attracting more international visitors and promoting the destination on a global scale.

 

Since last year, when Emirates inaugurated the route to Madagascar, flights between Antananarivo and Dubai have recorded high occupancy, operating at almost full capacity. This increase in frequencies represents an important opportunity for Madagascar to increase international tourist arrivals, offering passengers more choice and convenience. The new flights, which will operate every day except Mondays, include a stopover in Mahe, Seychelles, for an even more flexible journey.

 

Emirates is making a significant contribution to making Madagascar known as an elite destination for international tourism. By promoting the destination in its global network, the company contributes to showcasing the natural and cultural beauty of the country. Highlights include three UNESCO World Heritage sites and extraordinary biodiversity, making Madagascar a must-visit destination for nature lovers and ecotourism.

 

Using Emirates' modern Boeing 777s not only enhances the passenger experience, but also offers increased cargo capacity. The hold of aircraft allows the transport of up to 20 tons of cargo per flight, favoring Madagascar's import-export activities and contributing to the strengthening of its economy.
