KEY POINTS:
Emirates Airlines attained its 100th global destination last night with the addition of Cape Town to its flight schedules.
The daily non-stop flights between Dubai and Cape Town connect in each direction with all of Emirates' flights between New Zealand and Dubai.
Last year, Emirates increased its weekly service to Johannesburg to 21 flights, from 14.
Cape Town represents the first new gateway to be launched by Emirates in 2008. The airline has already announced plans to start services to Kolkata, India, and Guangzhou, China in July, followed by Los Angeles in September.
