The Dubai-Lusaka-Harare service operates every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, using an A330-200 aircraft in a three class configuration. EK 713 departs Dubai at 09h25, arriving in Lusaka at 14h50. The onward connection to Harare departs Lusaka at 16h20, reaching the Zimbabwean capital at 17h20.
