The co-location of operations in one of the world’s premier terminals will significantly improve the connecting experience for customers and underscores the benefits of the partnership between the two airlines launched in November 2022.
Customers transiting in Dubai between the Americas on Air Canada and the Middle East, Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia and Africa on Emirates will enjoy a seamless and expedited experience with the convenience of remaining in the same terminal.

Dedicated Air Canada check-in and bag drop counters for Signature Class will be available in the First & Business Class Dropoff, Premium Economy and Economy will be located in the main entrance.

Air Canada has also developed a partnership with Emirates’ sister-airline, flydubai.
Emirates began its daily Boeing 777 service between Montreal and Dubai in July, which complements its expanded daily Airbus A380 schedule between Toronto and Dubai. Air Canada will be commencing its new non-stop four times weekly flights between Dubai and Vancouver on October 30, 2023 with its flagship Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet, which will complement its daily service between Toronto and Dubai.
Aeroplan and Skywards members are able to collect and redeem points when travelling with Air Canada or Emirates, and eligible customers have access to priority check-in, priority boarding and airport lounges.
The worlds leading tourism destination, Dubai has turned its eyes to Kenya, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo,, South Sudan, and other African countries as a rich source for their tourists after placing a Visa ban on Nigerian tourists.
The United Arab Emirates announced in October 2022 a Visa Ban on all citizens of Nigeria and other African countries.
“This is to inform you that we will not be posting 30 days visa applications for these nationalities effective today October 18, 2022, “part of the notice read.
It also informed all traveling agencies, and trade partners that, “Any applications from the above-mentioned countries will be sent back or canceled.”
The attention of Dubai’s tourism ministry and the UAE has now shifted to other African countries like Angola, Kenya and South Africa as a result of the ban to provide them with the yearly number of tourists visiting the city.
Given this, the tourism ministry has employed the services of South African singer Thabsie as well as Kenyan celebrity Bahati as their new tourism ambassadors. The search for Francophone celebrities is also on our source revealed.
The two stars have been tasked to use their popularity to show Africans what Dubai has to offer through their own eyes and individual experiences.
Thabsie and Bahati, who are currently in Dubai with their plus ones will engage if a friendly campaign called the “A to Z of Dubai” where they will, letter by letter, convince their followers to visit Dubai.
Meanwhile, the former president of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari February 2023 called for the lifting of the blanket visa ban on Nigerians by the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The leader expressed readiness to apply necessary sanctions through appropriate judicial processes against persons who commit criminal acts in the UAE while admitting that some Nigerians may be violating the laws of the country.
President Buhari also appealed for a lasting solution to both countries’ predicaments and urged that all issues be allowed to be handled by the relevant security/intelligence agencies.
African artists across the whole continent have been blessed with a major opportunity of working with Quincy Jones v4texx band.
The Dubai-based band is willing to offer African artists who will take up the opportunity with whatever they need so that they work hand-in-hand.
The band aims at helping artists from different parts of the continent so that they give African music a new and different feel from Afro-beat and other common genres on the continent.
The works between V4texx and African artists will be carried out at Q bar which is located in the luxurious Palazzo Versace in Dubai
Based on what we have so far seen, the beautiful venue is the epitome of splendor as the hotel is draped with Versace from top to bottom.
Quincy Jones Club Q is the first-ever hot spot he has owned as a legendary producer
The hangout spot has so far bagged numerous gongs for its epic live music, including Fact Dining Awards Dubai 2022, Time Out Dubai, Night Life Awards 2022, and Dubai’s 2022 Best Live Music Venue Award.
Apparently, the band consists of three Nigerians and Dante Kennedy, who is originally from the USA.
Before recruiting the Nigerians, the band first worked with a Kenyan guitarist and someone from Colombia, thereafter, recruited three Nigerians. Based on the way how they want African artists to join the band is to emphasize coming correctly.
“It was a complete coincidence, we were just looking for people who can play well they just all happen to be from Nigeria. We played with a Kenyan guitarist and someone from Colombia before, so we are open to working with African musicians and artists, but they have to come correct.”
The V4texx band leader, Dante Kennedy, is a veteran in the music industry who was recruited initially by Quincy Jones himself in 2018.
He has performed at over 400 shows at the luxurious hotel. He has worked with the likes of Lil Wayne, Justin Timberlake, Nicki Minaj, Miley Cyrus, and Wiz Khalifa.
He was also in the room when Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars made “Billionaire”.
Last year, Dante worked with over 30 artists, connecting them with opportunities in the UAE, something he is looking to scale up this year.
Having played in Dubai for more than 5 years now, Dante admits that though the music in the UAE is still growing, it has made great strides.
Many of his fans fly in just to catch live music vibes. His advice to African artists hoping to make a move to the UAE is;
“There are a lot of opportunities for musicians to thrive in the UAE, but we must take a long-term approach and start with building relationships and trust with authorities and the community here.”

“Tourism is a central pillar of Dubai’s economic growth and diversification, and the continual investment in our product offering, a frictionless and superlative guest experience and the development of the sector and those working in it, will not only serve to further accelerate industry growth but critically, will have a significant multiplier impact on many other elements of Dubai’s economic landscape and global appeal to businesses and talent.
