The aircraft A340-300 has been installed for this new service allocating 12 seats for First Class cabin, 42 for Business whereas 213 seats for Economy class cabin.

Before this, Emirates used to follow an indirect route to operate the flights to Senegal from Dubai, making quite a long hauls flight. With the launch of this fresh and non stop service, the journey duration from Dubai to Senegal has reduced to 8 hours creating a speedy, convenient and simple traveling option for the business and leisure travelers of Dubai flying to Senegal.
