Emirates Airways has announced that it will commence a daily Airbus A380 service from Dubai to Mauritius from 16th December 2013. The aircraft will operate as flight EK 701 on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday and EK 3701 on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, departing from Dubai International Airport at 03:10 and arriving in Mauritius at 09:40. The return flight EK 702 and EK 3702 will depart Mauritius’ Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport at 18:20 and arrives in Dubai at 01:10 the next day.
The announcement of this daily flight to Mauritius follows the special one-off A380 flight that the airline operated in Mauritius in March 2013 to celebrate the island’s 45 years of independence. The new flight will replace one of the existing three class Boeing 777-300 services the airline currently operates to Mauritius. This means that Emirates provide service to Mauritius on double daily basis with an additional 153 seats on the route each day across First Class, Business Class and Economy class.
According to Thierry Antinori, Emirates’ executive vice president, it is a matter of great pride to be first one to offer daily basis service to Indian Ocean Islands from December this year. The extra capacity is a testament to Emirates’ on-going commitment to supporting the tourism sector of Mauritius.
Emirates has been operating to Mauritius since 2002 with three flights per week and in December 2012 commenced a double daily service due to growing demand. Emirates currently has 35 A380’s in its fleet which is world’s largest.
