Emirates has announced it will boost travel to South America by adding new flights to Brazil. The Dubai-based carrier will add a fifth frequency on its Dubai to Rio de Janeiro route, starting on December 7, 2024.

Additionally, the linked service allows travellers to conveniently travel onward to the Argentinian capital, Buenos Aires.

Emirates’ increase of capacity on its Dubai/Rio de Janeiro/Buenos Aires route will help the airline meet market demand and offer customers greater flexibility, choice, and connectivity.

With the fifth scheduled service, customers will now have more choice when selecting flights to suit their travel plans.

The additional weekly frequency between Dubai, Brazil, and Argentina will operate as EK247 and EK248 in a 2-class configuration.

The added flights to be deployed in December will offer 302 seats on each flight in Economy Class and Business Class.

The airline’s boosted services to Brazil and Argentina are expected to facilitate additional connectivity for passengers travelling between these countries and other popular destinations in Emirates’ network, including the UAE, Japan, Thailand, the Maldives, Egypt, mainland China and Hong Kong, Turkey, South Korea, India, Australia, and Indonesia.

With Brazil and Argentina being home to the two largest Lebanese communities in Latin America, Emirates regularly serves customers travelling to and from Beirut.

Furthermore, nationals of Brazil and Argentina can also enjoy the convenience of visa-free travel to Dubai, making it a popular destination for holidays and short stopovers.

Top inbound markets for tourism into Brazil and Argentina include mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, Russia, and the UAE.

Trade between Argentina, Brazil, and the rest of the world is also expected to be further facilitated with the additional flights per week.

Each Boeing 777 wide-body aircraft accommodate a cargo capacity of around 20 tons per flight to transport regional exports from Argentina and Brazil to consumers in the Middle East, Europe and other markets, while supporting the import of essential goods, including pharmaceuticals.

Emirates’ codeshare partnerships with GOL Airlines and Azul Airlines and interline partnerships with LATAM Airlines and Aerolineas Argentinas allow its customers to fly beyond Rio de Janeiro to an expansive network of domestic points, including:

  • Brasilia
  • Porto Alegre
  • Salvador
  • Curitiba
