Emirates announced a linked service to Conakry, the capital city of Guinea, from 27 October 2013.
The linking of Conakry to the four times weekly Dubai to Dakar service will provide new opportunities for business and leisure travelers in Guinea to seamlessly connect to Emirates worldwide network through its Dubai hub, particularly destinations in China, the Middle East, India, Far East and Australia.
The Dubai to Dakar route was serviced by an A330-200 aircraft, but since 31 March 2013 a slightly larger A340-300 was introduced onto the route, ahead of the 27 October launch of the Conakry link. The aircraft has 267 seats in a three–class configuration offering 12 First Class seats, 42 seats in Business Class and 213 seats in Economy Class.
In addition to passenger services, Emirates SkyCargo will offer about 13 tonnes of cargo capacity per flight, supporting Guinea’s key exports of perishables.
