An extension to Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire was added a month later in February 2006 from 4 of the 7 weekly frequencies between Dubai and Accra. The route eventually moved to a daily operation with an extension to Abidjan on May 1, 2010.

Today the route is served by a daily scheduled Boeing 777-300ER in a three-class configuration. News Desk
