Dubai-based carrier, Emirates (Link), has bolstered its African footprint by introducing daily flights to Sudan.Earlier this month, the world's fastest growing inter-continental airline accelerated its presence in Khartoum by introducing an additional flight every Sunday, bringing its six-times-a-week service to a daily operation. Operated with the modern, wide-body and twin-aisle A330-200 aircraft, the extra flight will provide 12 First, 42 Business and 183 Economy class seats alongside 17 tonnes of cargo-carrying capacity. The new frequency will increase Emirates' Sudan offering to over 1,600 passenger seats and almost 120 tonnes of cargo capacity per week, per direction. The added capacity will provide impetus to the import of foodstuffs, manufactured goods, transport equipment, chemicals and textiles from the U.A.E, Sudan's third largest import partner after China and Saudi Arabia, accounting for approximately six percent of the country's total imports.
