Emirates and South African Airways partnership

Connecting with South African Airways

We currently operate three daily flights between Dubai and Johannesburg and will increase to four as of March 2025.

In addition, we operate two daily flights between Dubai and Cape Town and daily flights between Dubai and Durban.

We interline with several South African Airways destinations in the region and domestic market and the whole itinerary is booked on a single ticket.

Can I add a stopover?
You can choose to connect seamlessly to South Africa via our Dubai hub, or break up your journey with a stopover. Enjoy two vacations in one and spend time in Dubai on the way.
Emirates Skywards partnership
South African Airlines is one of our Emirates Skywards partner airlines, which means you can earn and redeem Skywards Miles on flights with South African Airlines if you’re a Skywards member.
