Emirates celebrates its connection to Conakry

Emirates this week celebrated its newest African connection to Conakry, the Republic of Guinea.

Several Ministers and senior officials from the Government of Guinea attended the event hosted by Hubert Frach, Emirates’ divisional senior vice president commercial operations West, and Adil Al Ghaith, Emirates’ vice president commercial operations Northern and Western Africa.

Emirates rolled out its trademark hospitality to over 100 guests from the local business community, key government officials and members of the local Guinean media. Held at the Hotel Palm Camayenne, guests were treated to international gourmet cuisine as well as traditional music and entertainment performed by the renowned local band “Seiland Kutchy” during the course of the evening.

“We are honoured by the warm welcome that we have received from the community in Conakry, and the excellent turnout at this evening’s reception is indicative of how positively Emirates is perceived in the local market. The arrival of our first service to Conakry is an exciting development and provides new opportunities for travellers, business owners, tourism and trade,” said Hubert Frach.

“Air services are important catalysts for economic growth and we look forward to playing our part for Guinea’s development. Through Dubai, our flights connect seamlessly with other destinations in fast growing regions such as the Middle East, the Asian Subcontinent, the Far East and Australasia, thereby extending Conakry’s accessibility and reach to capitalise on trade and tourism opportunities from these regions,” added Frach.
