Emirates will introduce a third daily flight between Dubai and Mauritius in December. The additional service will be operated by a three-class Boeing 777-300ER.
The airline currently services Mauritius with two daily services operated by A380 aircraft. The third daily service will be a codeshare with Air Mauritius and has been timed to provide connections to and from Far East markets. The airline says it will actively promote the destination to travellers in Japan, China, Malaysia and Hong Kong.
Flight EK709 will depart from Dubai at 06h55 and arrive in Mauritius at 13h40. The return flight EK710 will depart from Mauritius at 18h30 and arrive in Dubai at 01h10 the following day.
Adnan Kzim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We have been proudly serving Mauritius since 2002 and our double daily A380 services have been a major success and contributor to the growth of the country’s tourism industry. The additional daily service on our wide-body Boeing 777 aircraft will enable a more than 30% increase in capacity on the route while also providing additional flight options for leisure and business travellers to seamlessly connect to flights.”
